Top of the Morning
By Brian Stelter
Hardcover, 312 pages ($28 / Grand Central Publishing)
Your wake-up coffee will taste a bit zestier if you sip it while reading this riveting, revealing rundown of the high-stakes world of morning television, which digs into the vicious rivalry between “Good Morning America” and “Today,” the behind-the-scenes, career-shuffling upheavals at the competing networks, and an examination of the surreal connection between audiences and the “news personalities” they invite into their homes to start every weekday morning.
