'Nightline' Meets Its Master

The New York Observer reports on the first meeting between “Nightline” staff and their new executive producer, James Goldston. They sum it up as “not cataclysmic,” which is much better than most of the staff was expecting. He told the staff that they will turn “Nightline” (Motto: “Now banned by oppressive regimes across the globe!”) around, but “not (repeat: not) do it by chasing after ‘demographics,’ which is broadcast-news shorthand for young people who like gross-out reality specials.”
