Directed by Brian Robert Calfano

Once upon a time, your TV news report came from a white man sitting at a desk reading a script. That all changed when "Eyewitness News" took to the air in 1965. Al Primo's vision of news became the industry standard: a reporter-centric "eyewitness" multicultural ensemble resembling the community. TV News Primo documents the career and influence of the man who understood that people can tell their stories better than anyone else.
