This is one of the things that CNN does get right.
CNN needs to use real time headlines instead of
the crawl which is really outdated. Ironically I
noticed that AOL which is now a stand alone is
actually doing this; I am not sure how much
CNN can get from AOL but I really like the sphere
and now.
It seems as though tv news should be getting
better and not worse. Just this week there is
an I-phone app that permits you to turn your
phone in to what is basically a live shot camera
and broadcast to your own computer.It is clear
and probably taking aim at skype.
