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.
