Other title: "And finally ... : the history of ITN : fifty years of Independent Television News in the UK".

"For fifty years ITN has been at the heart of independent television in Britain, providing the national and international news - and often the scoops - first for ITV, and then for Channel 4 and Five as well. Often fleeter of foot than its big BBC rival, ITN earned a reputation as a world-class television news company. But in today's profit-driven environment that's no guarantee that it will continue to supply the news to Britain's commercial broadcasters. News at Ten has been killed off, and now ITN faces the prospect that its contract with ITV will not be renewed. 'And finally' - the catchphrase which for so many years introduced the last, light-hearted News at Ten story - has taken on a more sinister meaning." "Richard Lindley tells the inside story of the reporters and their editors who made ITN a byword for the best in television journalism."--BOOK JACKET. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
