ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Roger Feinman began a career in journalism while he was still in college, reporting on local campus disturbances for a Long Island radio station. He went on to become a film producer, graphics editor and news writer at WPIX-TV in New York City. From December 1972 until September 1976, he worked for CBS, Inc., mostly within CBS News at its New York headquarters, where his responsibilities included assisting in the production of "The CBS World News Roundup with Dallas Townsend." In 1975, he was consulted by 60 MINUTES for an assassination segment that was killed by CBS News senior management. After leaving CBS, he attended law school and now practices law in the areas of insurance, excess and reinsurance coverage disputes; media errors and omissions; entertainment liability; trials and appeals. He has extensive experience working with the Freedom of Information Act in researching the Kennedy assassination. He is currently working on projects involving the medical evidence and the news media's treatment of the assassination controversy.
