American Newswoman’s Club Ceremony
On Saturday night (for the journos not dressed up), the American Newswoman’s Club annual ceremony awarded C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb (invite here). Bob Schieffer of CBS News did the honors and he writes it up today on his blog.
He has always taken some kind of on-air role and the exposure has made him a fixture on television. But in the age of the blowhard, he has some real quirks — like parking his ego at the door before he enters the studio.
In all his years on C-SPAN, the two words he has never said are “Brian Lamb,” his own name. He feels it just gets in the way. …
But here’s the other quirky thing about him, the one that really counts: he never lost confidence in the ability of the American people to make the right choices when they have the right information — the full and complete story — which is what C-SPAN is all about. …
We take C-SPAN for granted, but that’s no small thing. Thanks, Brian.
