<p>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 Minshalls 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.</p>

In Breaking News/Broken News, famed news producer Gene Minshall provides an analysis of the television news business from an insider's perspective.  For many years, Minshall directed the daily flow of information, worked with management and their budgets while, at the same time conferring with consultants hired to help increase ratings and viewer interest.  Serving as a reporter and producer as well as writer and director of scores of documentaries exploring issues and interests of the day, Minshall joined the rising chorus who applaud the incredible contributions progressive news departments are providing to better inform the public.  In addition to national and local TV news, Minshall documented ethics for the International Center for Journalists, worked in Albania with radio and TV stations on ethics and served as a Knight Fellow with foreign assignments.  He was also appointed by the United States State Department to assist Third World country's media centers to be responsive to public apprehensions by presenting news without bias and propaganda.  Minshall is proud of his profession but laments practices that work against fully informing the public.  He desires to promote a conversation to close the gap between "what TV stations are promoting" and "what exactly is presented to viewers."
