Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    The world of radio news …from the inside.   My Front Row Seat, a Newsman’s Journey is the name of a new book by Tim Scheld.   Tim is a former colleague at WCBS NewsRadio 88 in New York…who has covered some of the biggest stories for decades at CBS and ABC…and now passes his knowledge along to students.  About that career..

“We were the ones who had the ability to ask the hard questions of people when there were stories to tell.  And so you took that responsibility very seriously.   I had a bit of a discomfort writing a book because I didn’t really want it to be about myself, so I tried to do my best to make it about the stories that I covered and find a way to bring some humanity into the profession of journalism.”

And a better understanding.  The book again…My Front Row Seat…by Tim Scheld.
