Emmy Award Winner - WB11 Anchor & Correspondent: Marvin Scott Marvin Scott says: "My favorite program was the show where we debunked the myth of the 'Amityville Horror' movie series. My most difficult was the one in which I interviewed a neo-Nazi who denied that the Holocaust ever happened. In the interest of fair journalism I included him in the program but noted in my opening remarks that in journalism school, they teach that there are two sides to every story, but as the late Edward R. Murrow once said, ' Some stories just don't have another side.'’ News Close-Up: Since it bowed in the Fall of 1992 with a broadcast about Amy Fisher, the "Long Island Lolita," News Close-up has featured interviews with the area's top newsmakers in a half- hour format that offers depth going far beyond the headlines.
