Dove si stava facendo la storia, Sander Vanocur era spesso lì con domande difficili. Il giornalista pionieristico che ha coperto la politica per la televisione e la stampa per più di 40 anni è morto di complicazioni dovute alla demenza lunedì 16 settembre 2019, mentre si trovava in ospedale a Santa Barbara, in California, secondo Il New York Times. Aveva 91 anni.

Vanocur è stato uno dei quattro giornalisti presenti nel panel del primo dibattito presidenziale televisivo tra Richard Nixon e John F. Kennedy, seguito da 70 milioni di telespettatori nel 1960. Più di tre decenni dopo, è stato uno dei relatori del dibattito tra George HW Bush, Bill Clinton e Ross Perot nel 1992.

Ha anche ospitato due serie sulla STORIA, Movies in Time e Storia & # x2019; s Business. Per Movies in Time, una volta ha intervistato Oliver Stone e Anthony Hopkins sul film del 1995 Nixon, confrontando le rappresentazioni del film con gli eventi storici reali. & # x201C; È & # x2019; s nell'occhio di chi guarda, & # x201D; Vanocur ha detto al Los Angeles Times della sua precisione. & # x201C; Una parte di me si ribella all'allentamento dei fatti. L'altra parte afferma che le persone hanno il diritto di interpretare la storia a modo loro ... Penso che stia mettendo in risalto le sue opinioni e le inserisca nel film, che è il suo diritto. Ma è una storia accurata? Non credo. # #2201D; penso di sì. & # X201D;

Lui stesso è apparso anche nei film come giornalista, con apparizioni nel 1971 La banda che non poteva sparare dritto, 1980 & # x2019; s Alza il Titanic, 1993 & # x2019; s Dave, 1996 & # x2019; s Scappare con l'omicidio e 1994 & # x2019; s Senza attenzione.Ha anche ricevuto il premio E. Van Scripps School of Journalism & # x2019; Carr Van Anda.

Nato l'8 gennaio 1928 a Cleveland, il suo nome era originariamente scritto Sander Vinocur. Ma dopo che sua madre e il padre avvocato divorziarono, si trasferì con i suoi figli a Peoria, nell'Illinois, e cambiò l'ortografia del loro cognome in Vanocur perché era arrabbiata con il vecchio, & # x201D; come Il New York Times dice Vanocur al giornale di San Pietroburgo, in Florida, The Evening Independent.

Vanocur si è laureato alla Western Military Academy di Alton, nell'Illinois e alla Northwestern University, e ha anche studiato alla London School of Economics. Ha anche prestato servizio nell'esercito.

Ha iniziato la sua carriera come reporter per The Manchester Guardian e ha lavorato per la BBC e la CBS News, prima di andare Il New York Times nel 1955. Nel 1957 si trasferì alla NBC News dove ricoprì diversi ruoli come corrispondente della Casa Bianca, Oggi mostra corrispondente D.C., Il Rapporto Huntley-Brinkley editore collaboratore e Primo martedì ospite. All'inizio degli anni '70 lasciò la NBC per la PBS, seguita da un periodo di lavoro Il Washington Post dal 1975 al 1977 e ABC News dal 1977 al 1991.

Tra le sue interviste più importanti c'erano la conversazione con Martin Luther King, Jr., presso la chiesa battista di Ebenezer meno di un anno prima che fosse assassinato e Robert Kennedy a Los Angeles presso l'Ambassador Hotel, poco prima che Kennedy fosse ucciso nel 1968.

& # x201C; Sono & # x2019; m un forte sostenitore della libertà di stampa & # x2014; purché abbiano qualcosa da dire, & # x201D; ha detto nel 2004 in un discorso alla Stanford University.

Vanocur era anche consulente presso il Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, professore di comunicazione alla Duke University, residenza professionale presso il Freedom Forum di Arlington, in Virginia, e aveva una propria attività di consulenza in comunicazione, Old Owl Communications.

Era sposato con Edith Pick nel 1956 e aveva due figli, Christoper e Nicholas. Dopo la morte di Pick nel 1975, sposò Virginia Backus Vancour, che gli sopravvive. È sopravvissuto anche a una figliastra, Daphne Wood Hicks.

    Tbilisi, Georgia — Jailed journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli gets weaker every day as her hunger strike has reached three weeks in Rustavi, a town near the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, her lawyer says. Now the 49-year-old is having difficulty walking the short distance from her cell to the room where they usually meet, and human rights officials, colleagues and family fear for her life. <a href=https://kra25-at.com>kra29.at</a> Amaghlobeli was arrested Jan. 12 during an anti-government protest in the coastal city of Batumi, one of over 40 people in custody on criminal charges from a series of demonstrations that have hit the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million in recent months. <a href=https://kraken23-at.com>kra26 at</a> The political turmoil follows a parliamentary election that was won by the ruling Georgian Dream party, although its opponents allege the vote was rigged. Protests highlight battle over Georgia's future. Here's why it matters. Its outcome pushed Georgia further into Russia's orbit of influence. Georgia aspired to join the European Union, but the party suspended accession talks with the bloc after the election. As it sought to cement its grip on power, Georgian Dream has cracked down on freedom of assembly and expression in what the opposition says is similar to President Vladimir Putin's actions in neighboring Russia, its former imperial ruler. kra27.at https://kra-30.at

    Kate Winslet had a surprising ‘Titanic’ reunion while producing her latest film ‘Lee’ <a href=https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad.su>kraken в тор браузере</a> Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.” The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week, where she discussed her new film “Lee,” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era. https://kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad.ru kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd.onion Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects, “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end,” including when the film was scored in post-production. She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London, while looking at the 120-piece orchestra, she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her. “I’m looking at this violinist and I thought, ‘I know that face!’” she said. At one point, other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing, “It’s him!” to her, and it continued to nag at Winslet, prompting her to wonder, “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?” Finally, at the end of the day, the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist, and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film. “It was that guy!” Winslet exclaimed this week, later adding, “it was just wonderful” to see him again. “We had so many moments like that in the film, where people I’ve either worked with before, or really known for a long time, kind of grown up in the industry with, they just showed up for me, and it was incredible.” “Lee” released in theaters in late September, and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV+ or Amazon Prime.
