As the 17th recipient of the Neuharth award, created in 1989, Hewitt (Don
Hewitt, the man who created "60 Minutes") is being recognized for his
achievements during a 56-year career in broadcast news.

Along with creating "60 Minutes," he is credited with producing the first
televised presidential debate between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960.

He said he looks on that experience "as maybe the worst night that ever
happened in American politics."

"That was the night that politicians looked at us in television and said,
'Those guys are the only way to run for office.' And we looked at them and
said, 'Those guys are a bottomless pit of advertising dollars,' " Hewitt
said. "I think the marriage of television and politics ushered in the age of
big-money campaigning, and I think we're all the poorer for it."
