THE MOST TIMELY
BOOK ABOUT THE
MEDIA THIS YEAR
“I thought I knew Mort Meisner, former boss, and long-
time friend. Then I read his book.
Wow, what an eye-opener!
Mort bares all in a gripping tale of child abuse, sex,
drugs, booze and rock and roll. Plus, amazing inside
stories about the underbelly of TV news.
”
“I have known Mort Meisner for 35 years. He is one of
the most positive individuals who possesses a broader
picture of the world and of the common man. Mort’s
story will grab your heart and touch your soul. You will
love every page.
”
“Enough To Be Dangerous takes us on quite a ride!
Mort gives us a peek behind the curtains of the music
business, the news business, and into the heart of a
man who could have been defeated by a tragic up-
bringing but instead stuck to his passion and created
quite a life!
Mort gives back, mentoring so many himself and being
a true force of positive change for black journalists.
”
“A GREAT READ!”
“I could not put it down. So compelling–honest–and
helpful. A book that had to be written–because anyone
who witnessed what you will read here certainly
needed to write a book about it.
A compelling story of struggles, determination,
compassion-and love. And to be clear–as he does in
life–Mort tells it like it is! No excuses!
A heartfelt look at one’s life from within that may just
leave you asking...what have I accomplished... what
I have I done to learn from experiences and work to
make this a better place?”

“A no holds barred look at big city TV news in its heyday.
Mort Meisner tells of the highs and lows of running a
news operation in Chicago, Detroit and St Louis.
Meisner minces no words as he grapples with a drug
habit that almost takes him down.
Enough to be Dangerous is a great read.
