On television, Levine has been featured on many occasions, both as a news subject and in concert. In addition to his appearance on "Good Morning America," and his numerous performances on European television, the CBS newsmagazine 60 Minutes featured a profile of him titled "The Pope’s Maestro". Other stories about him have been featured on such programs as "CBS Evening News," "CBS Sunday Morning" (on which he was profiled by Eugenia Zukerman), "ABC World News Tonight" and "ABC Nightline" with Ted Koppel, as well as on both "Larry King Live" and "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzer, on CNN. He has appeared on National Public Radio on such programs as Symphony Cast, Performance Today, and All Things Considered.
In 2009, TVN (Poland) broadcast a 30-minute biographical documentary on Levine entitled "The Pope’s Maestro." The film dealt with his life and career, from the arrival of his family in New York from Warsaw in the early years of the 20th Century, to his studies at The Juilliard School, his life and work in Krakow under communism, and his concerts for Pope John Paul II. The documentary was directed by Aleksandra Bajka.
Levine’s memoir, The Pope’s Maestro, was published by Jossey-Bass, a Wiley Imprint, in October 2010, and in Polish translation in 2012 under the title Papieski Maestro by Wydawnictwo Świat Książki. Publisher's Weekly wrote of The Pope's Maestro, "Not all books are worth writing; this one assuredly is, because it tells how peace can happen, one heart at a time."

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
