Dr. Bernanke can add Emmy award winner to his resume according to this story.
CBS News”s “60 Minutes” program won an Emmy yesterday for its profile of Ben Bernanke, titled “The Chairman,” aired in March from Mr. Bernanke’s hometown of Dillon, South Carolina and from inside the Fed’s marble hallways in Washington.
Fed chairmen used to live in a secretive world. But Mr. Bernanke decided he needed to open up a little amid the growing backlash against the Fed in the wake of the financial crisis. In a first for TV, he brought CBS’s Scott Pelley into his world to explain what the Fed has been doing and to convince the country he was a regular guy who could be trusted. Congrats to CBS for a nice piece. As for Mr. Bernanke, well, the backlash has just kept growing.
