5.0 out of 5 stars A biting and hilarious look at the 'real' world of TV news, January 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: And So It Goes (Paperback)
Linda Ellerbee is the Queen of Hard Knocks, but she always comes up wiser -- and funnier. "And So It Goes" is a sharp and brutally honest look at the world of TV news. Ellerbee shares behind-the-scenes tales that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, and catching your breath in uproarious laughter. Ellerbee is engaging, lively, provocative and above all else, frightening. NBC fired her months after the book was originally published, probably in no small part to the toes that Ellerbee stepped on in this book. Read it to see why.I teach journalism, and to this day, I still recommend this to my friends. I can also honestly say that this is probably my favorite book of all time. It's that good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended reading for any aspiring broadcaster, September 14, 2002
By C. Cooke "jazzman" (Omaha, NE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Direct, honest, and brilliantly written, Ellerbee's masterwork gives the reader an inside look into the world of broadcast journalism. Her 80's program NBC News Overnight was a unique vehicle for intelligent reporting and videography. It was the last show of its kind on network news TV which, if anything, has gotten worse since the writing of this book. When Ellerbee's Nickelodeon children's programs are more intelligently written than most of the so called "adult" news programs on TV, that's scary. It is unfortunately the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading, April 18, 2004
There are some books that should never be resigned to the dustbin and this is one of them. The message is timeless and, despite the humor, frightening. Ms. Ellerbee's wisdom is needed more today than it was back in 1988.
