Justine Harman is an ASME-nominated journalist and the former features director at Glamour, where she launched Condé Nast's first-ever narrative nonfiction podcast, Broken Harts. Her latest podcast, KILLED, about stories submerged by the media, was the #12 most popular new series in 2022. She lives in Los Angeles.
The romantic stone tavern perched on a quiet canal in New Hope, Pennsylvania seemed like the perfect getaway. Located just under two hours from Manhattan, Chez Odette, a Parisian-style cabaret where Nina Simone once performed, still lured those looking to replace New York's hard edges with dulcet tones, three-finger pours, and competent escargots de Bourgogne.
An early devotion to the news was sparked by her father David"Buddy" Savitch, with whom she watched the evening broadcast, and who died of kidney disease when she was only 12."It was to win his approval that I began to follow news events," she wrote in her 1982 memoir,."His death, at the age of 33, shattered my life." According to a source close to the family, she was never given the proper space to grieve the loss.
In 1972, she took her talents to Philly, where she became an on-air reporter at KYW-TV, and then an anchor the very next year."There had been one female anchor before her. That was it," says journalist Maury Z. Levy, who wrote a profile on the emerging broadcaster forThere, Savitch pursued boundary-pushing stories, ones that often highlighted the private lives of women.
Around that time, Levy pitched another profile on Savitch, this time to a national newspaper."I turned my story in, and my editor calls me and says, 'This isn't what I wanted.' I asked, 'What did you want?' 'Well, you're too positive about her,' he said to me." The paper had been looking for dirt."She happened to be pretty and people didn't like it.
Finally, a weary male voice agrees to time the segment."Three-two-one," Savitch counts down, before flawlessly delivering the news.
