In The Media
In 1998, PBS broadcast documentary filmmaker Marion Cajori’s Emmy-nominated short, “Chuck Close: A Portrait in Progress.” In 2007, Cajori made “Chuck Close", a full-length expansion of the first film. British art critic Christopher Finch wrote a biography, Chuck Close: Life, which was published in 2010, a sequel of sorts to Finch’s 2007 book, Chuck Close: Work, a career-spanning monograph.
Close appeared on The Colbert Report on August 12, 2010, where he admitted he watches the show every night.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
