Walters’ Retirement Signals End of Big Interview Era


The New York Times says Barbara Walters’ retirement coincides with the end of the must-see interview, or the “big get.” Longtime news anchor Connie Chung says there’s no payoff for landing an exclusive interview anymore. Newsmakers no longer need the networks to reach the masses. Today celebrities and politicians can target their audience, the way President Obama did by appearing on “Between Two Ferns” to talk about health care.
