Brian Williams Coaching Journalism's Gen NextNBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams is doing more than just picking up another award during his trip to Arizona this week. Today, he is receiving the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism at ASU, but yesterday he and his boss coached the next generation of journalists. Williams and NBC News President Steve Capus took time during the day Tuesday to talk to students, answer their questions and even critique their work. Williams did an impromptu question-and-answer session with Cronkite NewsWatch students in their sixth-floor newsroom, and Capus "went from edit bay to edit bay looking at the students' work and critiquing it for them," Lodato said. "They were incredibly generous with their time and attention." Williams anchored Nightly News from the rooftop of ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication last night. Williams Anchors from Out of Town, Appears on 'Ellen'
Williams will receive the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism at Arizona State University tomorrow.

During his time in California, Williams taped an interview with Ellen Degeneres yesterday, which is airing today (4pmET in NYC). He will also appear on "Extra" tonight. On "Ellen," Williams discussed his recent trip to Afghanistan and showed Degeneres how to eat an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat), telling her, "I schlepped this, an Afghan word, all the way from Kabul."

TVNewser was there as Fletcher spoke in Northbrook, part of a 23-city book tour this month to mark the paperback release of his 2008 memoir, Breaking News. He told the crowd of his nearly 40 years in journalism — 32 with NBC — and his experiences in some of the world's most dangerous hot spots. Take an incident almost 30 years ago, on November 15, 1979. In Tehran reporting on the 53 American hostages at the U.S. embassy, he too was taken by Iranian militants. Held for nine hours, Fletcher was transported to the same embassy, making him the first television correspondent inside the occupied building, though not by his choosing.

Nightly News Inflates Iran ReportingOn NBC Nightly News last night, Brian Williams introduced a story about a flare-up in violence in Tehran related to the 30th anniversary of the Iran hostage crisis by saying, "We get more from NBC News Tehran bureau chief Ali Arouzi, the only journalist working for an American broadcaster who is currently in Iran."
