Book Excerpt: With the Bark Off by Neal Spelce and Thomas Zigal

November 23, 2021 by Neal Spelce and Thomas Zigal

In all the years I was working at KTBC as a reporter and then as news director—making decisions about what stories to air and what not to air—never once did LBJ or the Johnson family give orders to cover this and not that.

The book cover reads From Prophets of Doom to Chroniclers of Gloom. The author is M.R. Ghanoonparvar. The cover features the images of seven journalists, six men and one woman. Next to the book cover is a black and white photo of the author, who has a mustache and glasses.
