Gene Minshall was born, raised, and educated in a state he admits is a little off the beaten path. A small town (pop. 300) in an area of Montana called by the National Geographic as the "Last Real America." He has taken this environment of integrity, realistic values and straight thinking and applied them to his chosen profession: TELEVISION JOURNALISM. Having worked as a producer, reporter, and news director for 15 years, Minshall was honored as a Knight Fellow for the United States State Department. Consulting television stations in the 3rd World, Minshall encourage less bias and propaganda in their newscasts. Viewers, previously under the communist thumb received untainted and professionally presented newscasts (often for the first time) under Minshall's guidance. In this publication, (his third book), The BLISS & BLUES of TV NEWS, Gene once again continues his efforts to share his thoughts, experiences, and knowledge in an attempt to shake up our traditional Broadcast News Media with his Ten Terrible Truths of Local TV News. This book was written to inspire a new balance of newscasts currently replete with crime and accidents, with stories of hope and survival for a greater day.
