Rather Outspoken by Dan Rather
My Life in the News
A candid memoir by a long-serving network news anchor recounts his rise from small-town roots to the anchor chair, the major stories and eras he covered—from assassinations and the civil rights movement to Vietnam, Watergate and the changing media landscape—and the personal and professional costs of a career spent as a public watchdog. The narrative mixes behind-the-scenes anecdotes, reflections on journalistic principles and the responsibilities of the press, critiques of political and corporate power, and a forthright account of the controversy that precipitated his departure from nightly network anchoring, all framed as a defense of independent reporting and the values that should guide news organizations.
