Edward James Martin Koppel (born February 8, 1940) is a British-born American broadcast journalist, best known as the anchor for Nightline, from the program’s inception in 1980 until 2005. Before Nightline, he spent twenty years as a broadcast journalist and news anchor for ABC. After becoming host of Nightline, he was regarded as one of the most “outstanding” of the serious-minded interviewers on American television. Five years after its 1980 debut the show had a nightly audience of some seven and a half million viewers. After leaving Nightline, Koppel worked as managing editor for the Discovery Channel, a news analyst for NPR and BBC World News America. Koppel is currently a special contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning. His career as foreign and diplomatic correspondent earned him numerous awards, including nine Overseas Press Club awards and twenty-five Emmy Awards. Derived from a Kirkus review: The perceptive, articulate anchor of Nightline records his observations, thoughts, and memories in a daily journal of the closing year of the century. He records his reaction to Clinton’s impeachment, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, and shootings in American public schools, as well as his pleasures in such private moments as a family birthday celebration. Koppel is absorbed with current events and examines both their significance and their coverage by the media. He ponders the changing nature of television news, the public’s much-vaunted “right to know,” and the shrinking coverage of foreign news. He takes readers behind the scenes at Nightline. His datelines are from his various homes; Washington; numerous American cities; Ireland, and cities throughout the Mideast and Greece (where he and his wife vacation). To anyone hungry for literate, thoughtful, and thought-provoking commentary on our times, it is a whole satisfying loaf, crust and all.
