Dan Rather is ready to tell his story. The former CBS Evening News anchor has inked a deal with Grand Central Publishing to pen his memoir for publication in early 2012, according to
MediaBistro.com.
The book, “Summing Up,” will recount historical events including the JFK assassination, Watergate and the Iraq War, as well as providing the author’s take on the 2004 Presidential election-based spat with CBS which led him to vacate his anchor chair in 2005 and to leave the network in 2006.
“With the changing climate—and attitude— about news and journalists, I feel I can give readers an honest perspective on the present, and, more important, on the future of news,” Rather said, adding that the time is right to sum up his career in a candid fashion.
Rather currently appears on “Dan Rather Reports,” an Emmy-nominated news magazine on cable’s HDNet.
