This is a lost CBS 16mm Kinescope of the coverage of the Newark riots in 1967 that is on my schedule to restore along with an amazing collection of films I've uncovered on African American history that needs to be preserved.
See some of my collection at TVDAYS.com

Seems to be a memory lost about how Arthur E Johnson was murdered in his office. He was assassinated for being a black anti poverty activist, and left 12 children and a wife, to deal with the not knowing who did this. I will never let his memory die.

This is a bit of a strange piece by WCBS. Its a self-congratulatory "look how great we are" retrospective program.

@wmbrown6 9 ай бұрын

This was actually a retrospective of their coverage of the riots. It apparently did for them, in terms of prestige and, ultimately, ratings, what Geraldo Rivera's 1972 Willowbrook exposé did for WABC-TV and "Eyewitness News": propel them to the top. (In WCBS's case, this was buttressed by their landing Mike Douglas as the lead-in to their 6 P.M. news in the spring of 1968; in any event, WNBC began a slide that held - with some exceptions - for the next decade or so.)

Pretty sure this was an awards consideration reel, either for the New York Emmys or the Alfred duPont Awards. It was sent to committee members/voters, but it was never broadcast.

I lived two miles from there at the time, on the Newark/East Orange border. The whole area was affected by the uprising. So much tension. For an eight year old boy, I just took it in stride. Looking back, I see how monumental the episode was. Really sad so many years later, Newark still hasn't come back.

The only thing that ever predicated a mass scale city wide riot are police brutality and government repression . All other riots and melee's are localized to a much smaller theatre of conflict

This show is a great example of those times when broadcast journalism was fighting to gain bigger credibility over the dominance of newspapers. But still, I couldn’t agree with you more. Turmoil, blood, & death in the streets…”but hey folks, look at these great reviews we got from the Daily News & Variety for our coverage”. As if it was all some demented Broadway play. Very warped priorities to say the least.

@wmbrown6 Жыл бұрын

This was basically a documentary of Channel 2's coverage of the Newark riots, and the reaction to said coverage in "the papers." Said critical praise - plus, the next March, WCBS snagging Mike Douglas' syndicated gabfest - would help propel the station to first place in the early evening ratings over prior leader WNBC-TV by the end of 1968. (It would be another 3-4 years before WABC-TV - still dead last at this point, not yet having either gotten Roger Grimsby or rearranged its newscasts as "Eyewitness News" - surpassed the others. For them, it was Geraldo Rivera's look at the conditions at Willowbrook, combined with the station having gotten Frank Gifford after his CBS and WCBS-TV contracts ended, that brought them from worst to first, after being second for much of 1971.)

So what they are saying is that because one black guy died, tens of thousands of people looted and burned the streets? Nah bro that’s an economic problem, not just one dead black guy. Idc what you say ain’t that many people coming together and uniting as one all just for one random guy. When shit like this happens it’s because people are sick of being poor
