Host James Day discusses with Howard K. Smith, t.v. newscaster, the validity of the present day (for them the 1970s) journalism and how news reporting is slowly transitioning into entertainment broadcasting.
CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. (Taped:04/05/74)
