I noticed on the<BR/>360 blog that a digital producer was moving on<BR/>to a new assignment within CNN. It is is my hope<BR/>that CNN establishes an online community for<BR/>journalists( pros, college, freelance, citizens),<BR/>doc and filmmakers, authors, poets, musicians<BR/>and viewers to submit stories and ideas about<BR/>events and news that CNN might be interested <BR/>in covering for programs like AC360 and others,<BR/>photographers(pros and ams), artists,animators,<BR/>etc.I think if CNN establishes a blog/website<BR/>that is a combinations of Digg, Vimeo, or even<BR/>Current TV which actually puts on a hourly news<BR/>segment put together by viewers.I stress it still<BR/>must have a strong emphasis on news and<BR/>journalism. The point being to offer people<BR/>of a wide range to be contributors to CNN.<BR/>The news should come from legit news sources<BR/>and not the Huffington Post, Drudge or political<BR/>blogs CNN has the political ticker for this. Also<BR/>if viewers discover something cool on the web<BR/>to provide a link. Also, if CNN is really serious<BR/>about what viewers have to say. Set is up so<BR/>people can sign up by using their real names<BR/>and become a part of a worldwide<BR/>journalism movement. Heck even have a <BR/>broadband channel on the internet to view<BR/>the program that will air content that will<BR/>eventually make it's way to CNN. I think Sunday<BR/>afternoon would be a great time to have the<BR/>material air instead of repeat hours of the same<BR/>thing over and over again. I say this because<BR/>I think this is the actual future of tv news. Not<BR/>the twitter junk. If CNN was really interested in<BR/>what viewers thought they would have comments<BR/>on the stories and content. And please at least<BR/>use a format like Havoc 101 that will permit you<BR/>to actually read real time comments. But please,<BR/>please do not permit it to be highjacked by the<BR/>left vs right ideology. Make it about the news.<BR/>This would also permit CNN in many ways to<BR/>be 1 24/7 network. Heck even do like Current<BR/>TV and pay contributors for original content. I <BR/>say this as a new fan and CNN is the only network<BR/>I can tune in for news most of the time. I know<BR/>people like my self that would like to see more<BR/>international news on CNN many times during<BR/>the day.Also permit viewers to say which stories<BR/>are being ignored. CNN could actually start a<BR/>movement within the news industry that FNC,<BR/>MSNBC could not pull off in 24/7 news. Let's go.<BR/>The would has changed people now create their<BR/>own media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
