Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV is a 2013 non-fiction book by American journalist Brian Stelter.[1] The book was first published on April 23, 2013 through Grand Central Publishing and centers on the world of morning television.[2][3]

Synopsis

In Top of the Morning Stelter discusses several daytime television shows, their hosts, and events that he oversaw while working as a media reporter for The New York Times. The book focuses heavily on Ann Curry's replacing Meredith Vieira on the Today show,[4] as well as covering other events such as the rivalry between Good Morning America and the Today show over morning television ratings.[5]

Reception

Critical reception for Top of the Morning has been mixed to negative.[6][7][8] The Washington Times gave a mostly positive review for the book, while Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed one.[9] Entertainment Weekly stated while the book's quality improved as it progressed, the book was unlikable, and some elements - such as Robin Roberts' cancer - "has been documented better elsewhere".[10] The Pittsburgh Gazette and the Hollywood Reporter both panned the book, with The Pittsburgh Gazette criticizing it as reading "more like a dispatch from someone working at TMZ than a New York Times reporter".[11][12]

Film adaptation

On December 17, 2013, the Lifetime television network announced it will be adapting the book into a two-hour television film.[13]
