The Eyewitness Account
How does the writer capture the horror, the poignancy or even the humour of events as they actually unfold? From the sinking of the Titanic to Moscow's first hamburger, writers have been compelled to vividly put it all down in words. Tonight's programme looks at the art of reportage as written by the 'eyewitness' and asks: In a society dominated by the television, is there still a place for it? Presented by Max Easterman.
