The character's situation is a bit different, but I'd guess that
you're thinking of "And now the news...", by Theodore Sturgeon.
The Internet Archive has a scan of the magazine publication of
the story here: http://tinyurl.com/bdf6pzsj .

 damn..  that's it, all right.  1956!?!  I wouldn't have
read the original..
 It's way too prescient.
 Thanks muchly
