NBC News said Thursday that Brian Williams will not return to his job as “Nightly News” anchor following his suspension for misrepresenting himself, but will be given a second chance as a breaking news anchor at the cable network MSNBC.
Amidst the media tumult over Brian Williams’ apparent journalistic crimes, a little history on the role of the news anchor can help with some big questions.
NBC News anchor Brian Williams got everyone to look at him when he told his dramatic tale of being in a helicopter that got hit by rocket fire in Iraq in 2003.
After “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams this week recanted his story that he was on a U.S. military helicopter that was hit by RPG fire, many questions linger.
