Praise for Here Now the News
“Jerry Barmash reveals in his excellent and informative Here Now the News, some of the most insecure and crazy personalities to ever appear on broadcast news. Fistfights, backstabbing, racism, sexual dalliances, and a considerable amount of alcohol abuse are just a few of the tidbits Barmash, who has covered the NY market for many years, chronicles with revealing interviews and spot-on observations.” Don Dahler, critically acclaimed author of Fearless and A Tight Lie
“It was great to learn the television news business from the bottom to the top. And we had so much fun doing it!” Pia Lindström, former WNBC anchor
“Here Now the News by Jerry Barmash is an inside look into the New York newsrooms of the past. It’s a little bit of history, a dash of gossip, and a cup full of memories of the golden age of local TV news.” Ernabel Demillo, Chair, Communication & Media Culture, St. Peter’s University
"Here Now the News is a fascinating and insightful look back at the rich history of TV anchors in New York.
