Tom Brokaw has spent his professional journalism career bringing the news of the nation into our homes.  At a time before news came from multiple internet sources, the U.S. population turned to their televisions when news was breaking.

 

Beginning in 1966, Mr. Brokaw covered Ronald Reagan's first run for public office, the rise of the Sixties counter culture, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and the 1968 presidential campaign.

 

From Los Angeles, Brokaw went to Washington as the White House correspondent during Watergate and as the principal back up for John Chancellor as anchor of NBC Nightly News. Next stop: New York and TODAY followed by his appointment as anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.

 

 

During his career, he has covered stories of the U.S. presidencies of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama.

 

In addition to his daily news gathering responsibilities, Brokaw reported on more than thirty documentaries covering subjects ranging from AIDS, Los Angeles gangs, race, education, medicine, immigration, and global warming.

 

In 1998 Brokaw published his first book, The Greatest Generation, one of the most popular non-fiction books of the 20th century. He followed that with five other books, including BOOM! Voices Of The Sixties and, most recently, The Time Of Our Lives.
