“It’s all storytelling, you know. That’s what journalism is all about.” – Tom Brokaw

What a great storyteller Tom Brokaw is. NBC wanted to highlight just how great he is with a Dateline special dedicated to his “First 50 Years.” From interviews with world leaders to traveling to the Berlin Wall to covering the Watergate Scandal, Brokaw has seen and done a lot in his 50 years with NBC. He is the only person to host all three major NBC News programs – The Today Show, NBC Nightly News and Meet the Press. He is regarded as the most popular news personality and still remains with NBC as a special correspondent today.

Check out the full Dateline special here, and be sure to keep an eye out for the section we shot with Tom Brokaw and Tom Friedman of the New York Times.
