newsweek.com/star-rehired-f…

(90) In Summer 1994, Lack was pleased that "Dateline NBC" was defeating "Prime Time Live" in the ratings.

nytimes.com/1994/10/24/bus…

(91) He noted this was because it was the only news show airing at night.

nytimes.com/1994/10/24/bus…

(92) He kept costs low by using the same staff and anchors for each show, which was an additional benefit to its success.

nytimes.com/1994/10/24/bus…

(93) In November 1994, Lack was becoming frustrated with negotiations with news agents, citing that journalism should be a calling for investigation, not money.

articles.latimes.com/1994-11-13/ent…

(94) "Right now, there's a climate of rape and sodomy."

articles.latimes.com/1994-11-13/ent…

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(97) In February 1995, Lack noted that CNN and Court TV's ratings were higher than normal - this was because they were gaining ratings from the biggest story that year: the trial of O.J. Simpson.

nytimes.com/1995/02/20/bus…

(98) He became concerned that NBC News would face financial troubles if the trial continued for long.

nytimes.com/1995/02/20/bus…

(99) He compared CNN's ratings for the trial of O.J. Simpson to the ratings they had during the Los Angeles earthquake, which had significantly lower ratings.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(107) On October 8, 1995, Lack negotiated with O.J.'s representatives - followed by O.J. himself - to secure the interview.

deseretnews.com/article/444080…

(108) The call between Lack and O.J. lasted twenty minutes. O.J.'s only request was to have the interview be commercial free.

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(109) This was because O.J. did not want NBC News to profit from the interview.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(110) The interview would be hosted by Brokaw, Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel.

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(111) As agreed, NBC would not profit from the interview for giving O.J. a forum.

deseretnews.com/article/444080…

(112) Part of the reason for giving O.J. an interview at NBC was due to O.J.'s past career at NBC as a football commentator.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(113) The incoming interview sparked protests from women's groups.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(114) It incited anger in NBC News' own employees, making them sign petitions protesting the decision.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(115) This was because O.J. did not take the stand to tell his story there, but was instead open to discussing it on NBC News.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(116) Lack informed Gumbel that he would not be needed for the interview due to Gumbel's friendship with O.J..

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(117) He cited it as a conflict of interest.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(118) Gumbel, however, was angry that he was not allowed to interview O.J..

articles.latimes.com/1997-01-12/mag…

(119) Lack had told him that O.J. did not want him to be there.

articles.latimes.com/1997-01-12/mag…

(120) The relationship had already been cracking between the two, with Brokaw having to intercede at times to patch it up.

articles.latimes.com/1997-01-12/mag…

(121) Lack was angry at Gumbel's reluctance to contribute significantly to "Dateline NBC" or his next venture, MSNBC, in a meaningful way.

articles.latimes.com/1997-01-12/mag…

(122) He also claimed that Gumbel's relationship with Couric was falling apart as well, but Gumbel disagreed.

newyorker.com/magazine/2005/…

(123) Around this time, Lack and Tom Rogers were in talks with Bill Gates directly to transform their talk show network America's Talking into a news channel, sell Microsoft half of it, and then link it to a branded website.

wired.com/1998/12/nbc/

(124) His plan was to, essentially, kick start New Media.

wired.com/1998/12/nbc/

(125) Roger Ailes learnt during this time that he would not be considered for the position of leading it after running America's Talking - Lack would be in control.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(126) Ailes had a crisis of faith and wondered whether NBC doubted his ability to run a business.

newyorker.com/magazine/2003/…

(127) This led to Ailes quitting NBC in 1996.

washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…

(128) On October 10, 1995, Lack was contacted by O.J.'s lawyers to discuss the nature of Couric and Brokaw's questions in the scheduled interview.

(129) NBC News received thousands of complaints from viewers and the National Organization of Women.

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(130) Gumbel called in sick.

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(131) He was off for a week.

nytimes.com/1996/01/05/art…

(132) Lack said they had a journalistic duty to interview O.J..

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(133) He repeated that NBC News would lose money for the interview.

articles.baltimoresun.com/1995-10-11/fea…

(134) On October 11, 1995, O.J. cancelled the interview.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(135) He claimed NBC News wanted to treat the conversation as a confrontation and a retrial.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(136) He was to give a deposition in civil suits and had learnt that NBC News had spoken with lawyers for the plaintiffs. His lawyers warned him that the NBC News interview was a set-up.

edition.cnn.com/US/OJ/daily/95…

(137) Lack claimed that he had no knowledge of NBC News contacting the lawyers of the civil suits.

(142) Lack entered discussions with Gumbel immediately in an attempt to keep him at NBC News, suggesting multiple other projects to keep him interested.

nytimes.com/1996/01/05/art…

(143) Lack was also pushing for further cooperation between NBC News and Microsoft at the same time to form MSNBC.

wired.com/1996/06/micros…

(144) In July 1996, Lack hired Soledad O'Brien to host "The Site" for MSNBC.

soledadobrieninfo.blogspot.co.uk/p/1996-97-site…

nydailynews.com/archives/news/…

(150) On December 24, 1996, Matt Lauer was hired into NBC News, and was named a co-host to Couric on "Today".

nytimes.com/1996/12/24/art…

(151) Lauer was already aware he would get the job, joking he should be known as the 'heir apparent'.

nytimes.com/1996/12/24/art…

(152) Lack, meanwhile, continued to negotiate with Gumbel to try and keep him at NBC News.

nytimes.com/1996/12/24/art…

(153) In January 1997, Gumbel stated that his relationship with Lack was worse than other NBC presidents.

articles.latimes.com/1997-01-12/mag…

vanityfair.com/magazine/1999/…

(164) This was all done at the orders of Lack.

(165) By November 1997, ratings for NBC were through the roof.

nydailynews.com/archives/news/…

(166) He convinced Geraldo Rivera to remain at NBC News instead of moving to the Fox News Channel.

nydailynews.com/archives/news/…

(167) To do this, he had to reassure Brokaw that Rivera would not have any part in the "Nightly News".

observer.com/1998/08/gerald…

(168) It was at this point where he declared: "I am America's news leader".

vanityfair.com/magazine/1999/…

(182) He was not phased that MSNBC was becoming a tabloid channel.

vanityfair.com/magazine/1999/…

(192) This was because Broaddrick was frustrated with NBC News' refusal to release her interview.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(193) NBC News continued to hold the interview back regardless.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(194) This frustrated Russert and Myers, who felt they were doing Broaddrick a disservice while NBC News kept demanding more and more evidence.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(195) The fact that NBC News was holding the interview back became a news story in itself, until eventually Representative Chris Cannon said to an MSNBC anchor that he knew the interview was being held back.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(196) Lack stated that he had received no pressure from the Clinton Administration to delay the interview.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(197) On February 24, 1999, Lack finally scheduled to release the interview with Broaddrick over her sexual assault by President Clinton.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(198) It was to be her first television interview on the subject - a subject no other station was willing to touch.

washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…

(199) Lack reiterated that NBC News was not holding it back, but was going through a process to confirm authenticity.

nytimes.com/1999/02/24/us/…

(200) This is the interview.

(201) However, the interview was not complete.

nbcnews.com/id/5887567/ns/…

(211) In February 2001, House Republicans brought in different heads of networks' news divisions to testify at a congressional hearing on the election night coverage.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(212) It was rumoured that Jack Welch had interfered with NBC News' election calls.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(213) Representative Henry Waxman asked Lack on the subject to determine whether a video existed of Welch's conduct on the night.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(214) He denied any existence of it, but said if there were such a video, he would provide it upon discovery.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(215) After the hearing, NBC News confirmed it did have the footage... then refused to release it.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(216) Lack was surprised that he actually had to follow through with what he said under oath.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(217) This frustrated Representative Waxman, as this changed the question to whether NBC News or General Electric were preventing the release of the video.

articles.latimes.com/2001/aug/13/lo…

(218) This is a video of the congressional hearings.

c-span.org/video/?162583-…

(224) September 11 happened. This event would change the media - and the world - forever.

(225) The mainstream media began to focus on foreign coverage more than it had ever done before.

newyorker.com/magazine/2001/…

(226) Due to this, Lack admitted he mishandled a particular story - the Congressman and the Missing Intern.

newyorker.com/magazine/2001/…

(227) This was in reference to Chandra Levy, an intern that went missing in May 2001.

(228) Lack suggested that it would cost $50 million a year to cover the war at home and in Afghanistan.

newyorker.com/magazine/2001/…

(229) In order to tackle this, he would offset news cost increases with compensating budget reductions or revenue increases elsewhere.

newyorker.com/magazine/2001/…

(230) By November 2001, Jonathan Wald was a favourite of both Lack and Couric, having replaced Zucker on the job.
