The Nightly News: September 18, 19, 20, 1979

 
 

The anchors are the still points at the center of worlds encircled by roving reporters, photographers and videographers - storytellers putting words to images while themselves becoming images. Images recur and recur, like modern Tarot cards reshuffled each day - the first lady, the senator, the soldier, the terrorist, the Dow Jones, the fire, the hurricane, the press secretary, high water rising, the airplane - an important person about to descend? Action-packed commercials create fantastic flash fictions in which the influence of art movements from surrealism to minimalism reside .
