| CBS' Donna Francavilla interviews her boss |
The award and ceremony took place at Opryland in Nashville.
Harvey has been VP of CBS Radio News since January 1998 and oversees CBS News’ worldwide radio operations. During his previous tenure as Director of News Programming for WCBS-AM Newsradio 88, he coined the ubiquitous radio slogan “traffic and weather, together on the eights".
During his acceptance, Nagler said:
"Decades ago, we in radio, television and print were the messengers. We decided what Americans would know. Today it is the reverse. Everyone can publish; everyone can at least perceive themselves as journalists. Today content is ubiquitous.
It is a remarkable era of communication – an age in which everyone can be the media – where anyone operating out of their kitchen – or even the street – can reach a huge number of people…perhaps the same number as our most respected news organizations.
As Thomas Friedman of the New York Times wrote: anyone with a cell phone today is a paparazzi…anyone with a twitter account is a reporter…anyone with YouTube access is a filmmaker. But it is often hard to discern the big picture from individual snapshots of information that flood our devices – as well as the rumors, conjecture, speculation and opinions offered up each day. To place context on stories, many still seek out journalistic entities with traditional values. In the end, it proves we still need to be able to turn to journalists and news organizations we can trust. And the public’s appetite for news has never been greater.
So, it is now our jobs – our responsibility – our mission -- to maintain that trust as we broaden our roles on new platforms while continuing to serve our audiences on our traditional platforms. That’s our challenge and it’s a big one."
