DescriptionOriginal black and white photograph by an unidentified station photographer showing assassination eyewitness Abraham Zapruder on the right and WFAA-TV program director Jay Watson on the left, during a 2:30 p.m. interview - approximately two hours after the assassination of President Kennedy. The interview appeared live locally in Dallas and on the ABC network.

Curatorial Commentary

Since all news photographers were out of the building covering breaking news stories, an unknown member of the station's promotions department took several behind-the-scenes pictures, including this one, of newsworthy events happening at WFAA. - Gary Mack, Curator
