I say CNN needs to<br />actually increase their story count Why <br />is the uptick in unemployment a shocker.<br />Economists have said this was coming <br />because of state & local government<br />layoffs.

His analysis in the NYT shows<br />CNN's problems with facts and putting things<br />into context with unemployment and elections.<br />If it is on CNN, you know it is not true. I agree<br />about Anderson. He will be just fine.

I am still<br />waiting for a tech/digital age show on CNN.<br />Oh yeah, that's right Jon Klein canceled that<br />too. CNN dropped the ball on the Digital Age.<br />One reporter in Silicon Valley.

One<br />thing : instead of reading the answer how<br />about a news story revealing the answer.<br />In other words I have to watch to find out.<br />The package can run for a minute or less.<br />Don't have video than infograhics are your<br />best friend. Visualization is important. So<br />far that is the best way CNN is talking to<br />the viewer. Also, when they say take a <br />look or listen to video. Also, take for an<br />example the e-coli story. How about a<br />full screen graphic telling viewers what<br />ecoli is. Hello, after that how about Dr.<br />Gupta telling us 5 things we should know<br />about ecoli accompanied by words, video<br />and graphics. CNN has to start putting <br />more in the production. It would have<br />been cool if CNN had a cartoon or some<br />animation explaining cloud. You could<br />have the little quotation clouds of the <br />comments of the people in the cartoon<br />like Dilbert or The Oatmeal and CNN<br />voices reading the quotations on the <br />screen. Is there a creative engine at CNN?<br />Toss the you have to do this , this or that<br />out of the window and challenge your<br />people to be involved in a news experience<br />that will help reshape CNN. I wonder if<br />all of the shows have the freedom to see<br />what they can come up with that is not<br />being done at the network. It seems like<br />all of the CNN shows are the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-70504173803186629192011-06-06T02:27:33.944-04:002011-06-06T02:27:33.944-04:00Katie was not that popular, her people just want y...Katie was not that popular, her people just want you to believe she was.
