Mapes Sells Her Novel

Here’s a press release just forwarded to me by LGF reader Robert Bove:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Martin’s Press Acquires Book by Former CBS Producer Mary Mapes

Veteran television news journalist Mary Mapes has sold the rights to her memoir to St. Martin’s Press. Mapes has worked in television news since 1979 and at CBS News—including stints at “The CBS Evening News” and “Sixty Minutes”—for the last fifteen years. The major deal for world rights was negotiated by SMP executive editor Elizabeth Beier with Wesley Neff of Leighco, Inc.

Mapes, an award-winning producer who broke the story of the Abu Ghraib prison tortures, was fired by CBS after producing Dan Rather’s lightning rod of a story on the George W. Bush National Guard documents. She will chronicle what really happened at CBS and reveal the corporate, political and ideological agendas that threaten the integrity of journalists and the news.

Publication is planned for Fall 2005.

She’s right about ideological agendas that threaten the integrity of the news. But somehow I don’t think she means it the same way I do.
