A British television interview in which Michael Jackson said he sometimes let children sleep in his bed has been named program of the year in the Royal Television Society’s TV journalism awards.
The industry group said Martin Bashir’s 2003 interview for Granada Television’s “Living With Michael Jackson” showed “great journalistic enterprise.”
Meanwhile, Britain’s Guardian newspaper reported Thursday that ABC News has hired Bashir away from Granada. But insiders at ABC said that the deal isn’t done and that other news outlets are chasing the investigative journalist too.
