INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Peter Mansbridge invites us to walk the beat with him in this
entertaining and revealing look into his life and career, from his early
broadcasting days in the remote northern Manitoba community of
Churchill to the fast-paced news desk of CBC’s flagship show, The
National, where he reported on stories from around the world.
Today, Peter Mansbridge is often recognized for his distinctive deep voice,
which calmly delivered the news for over fifty years. But ironically, he never
considered becoming a broadcaster. In some ways, though, Peter was
prepared for a life as a newscaster from an early age. Every night around the
dinner table, his family would debate the news of the day, from Cold War
scandals and Vietnam to Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
So in 1968, when by chance a CBC radio manager in Churchill, Manitoba,
offered him a spot hosting the local late night music program, Peter
embraced the opportunity. Without a teacher, he tuned into broadcasts from
across Canada, the US, and the UK to learn the basic skills of a journalist and
he eventually parlayed his position into his first news job. Less than twenty
years later, he became the chief correspondent and anchor of The National.
With humour and heart, Peter shares never-before-told stories from his
distinguished career, including reporting on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the
horror of 9/11, walking the beaches of Normandy with Tom Brokaw, and
talking with Canadian prime ministers from John Diefenbaker to Justin
Trudeau. But it’s far from all serious. Peter also writes about finding the
“cure” for baldness in China and landing the role of Peter Moosebridge in
Disney’s Zootopia. From the first (and only) time he was late to broadcast to
his poignant interview with the late Gord Downie, these are the moments that
have stuck with him.
After years of interviewing others, Peter turns the lens on himself and takes
us behind the scenes of his life on the frontlines of journalism as he reflects
on the toll of being in the spotlight, the importance of diversity in the
newsroom, the role of the media then and now, and the responsibilities we all
bear as citizens in an increasingly global world.
