About
Bernard Goldberg:
Bernard Goldberg is recognized as one of the most original writers and thinkers in broadcast journalism. He has covered stories all over the world for CBS News and has won six Emmy Awards and a George Foster Peabody for his work as senior correspondent on the CBS News broadcast “48 hours.”
Goldberg now reports for the critically acclaimed HBO program “Real Sports,” which is hosted by Bryant Gumbel. In April 2001, Goldberg won his seventh Emmy for Outstanding Sports Journalism, for a Real Sports story entitled, “Dominican Free For All,” an investigative report on major league baseball recruiting in the Dominican Republic. Goldberg has reported extensively, both at HBO and at CBS News, on the transformation of the American culture.
At HBO, in the Fall of 2000, he wrote one of the most memorable documentaries of our time, “Do You Believe in Miracles,” the dramatic story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey team and the most famous hockey game ever between the United States and the Soviet Union, which revitalized the American spirit and helped bring America out of the malaise it had suffered for much of the 1970s. In addition, Goldberg anchored two CBS prime-time documentaries about how the American landscape was changing, “Don’t Blame Me” and “In Your Face.” Goldberg has also written op-ed pieces for “The New York Times” and “The Wall Street Journal” about baseball manners and journalism.
In a 1993 TV Guide column, Harry Stein picked Goldberg as one of the year’s most interesting people on television, citing his work “on the drift of American society.”
In November of 2001, Goldberg released another best seller, “Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News.”
