In this Fresh Air interview, Terry Gross questions ABC News anchor Peter Jennings on the state of TV journalism in 1998. Jennings talks about how much has changed throughout his career as a TV journalist. At the time, the technology had advanced from shooting film to live TV and competing with the 24-hour news stations, and Jennings laments the fact that journalists have less time to think about the stories they're covering. Gross questions him about the domination of mainstream news outlets by corporations and the conflicts of interest involved. She also expresses her concerns over the merging of TV news and entertainment. You'll hear about some of the news at the time, such as the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.
