Скачать или смотреть David Letterman: on-air confession to stop extortion (2009)

Letterman’s disclosure described receiving a package demanding payment in exchange for silence regarding sexual relationships with employees. He contacted authorities; an undercover operation resulted in the arrest of Robert “Joe” Halderman, a CBS News producer. Halderman pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny in March 2010 and received a jail sentence and probation. Letterman issued further apologies to his family and staff on subsequent broadcasts. The program retained its time slot and ratings stability. The case is frequently cited in media studies for crisis communication strategies, legal coordination, and the consequences of workplace relationships in entertainment productions.
