Brian Stelter, New York Times media reporter and former editor of TV Newser, is going long-form.
Stelter announced via his Twitter account on Monday that he's currently writing a book, tentatively titled "The Top of the Morning," about morning-TV offerings such as "Today" and "Good Morning America."
In an interview with TheWrap, Stelter noted that the morning slate has become increasingly influential.
"Morning TV is the axis on which the rest of the television news world news turns, and that's been particularly true since 9/11," Stelter said. "It's a book that really should have been written by now."
The book will be published by Hachette Book Group imprint Grand Central Publishing and offer "a candid look at the surreal lives of the surrogate families that we invite into our homes each morning — and why the shows matter so much to the fragmenting television business," Grand Central told Publishers Weekly.
