Raised in Homestead and Pittsburgh, he worked in the mills, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, and went on to become a journalist for the \u003ci\u003ePittsburgh Courier \u003c\/i\u003eand later for local radio. With his basso profundo voice resonating on the airwaves, Goode challenged the police, politicians, and segregation, while providing Black listeners a voice that captured their experience. Race prevented him from breaking into television until Jackie Robinson dared ABC to give him a chance. Goode was uncompromising in his belief that network news needed Black voices and perspectives if it were to authentically reflect the nation's complexities. His success at ABC initiated the slow integration of network news. Goode's life and work are remarkable in their own right, but his struggles and achievements also speak to larger issues of American life and the African American experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liann Tsoukas, Rob Ruck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822948222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822948223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.61h x 5.99w x 1.58d","brand":"Liann Tsoukas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829791617279,"sku":"9780822948223","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8949c54e-a461-414b-b823-035f8c307975.jpg?v=1708451658","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mal-goode-reporting-liann-tsoukas-9780822948223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
