reinvent itse...Here are some names who can help CNN<br />reinvent itself with their journalistic style.<br />Marianna Van Zeller who is without a doubt<br />a younger version of Christianne Amanpour.<br />If you don't believe me take a look at her<br />current doc for Current TV on gays in Uganda.<br />It embodies the kind of journalism that needs<br />to be spotlighted on a daily basis on CNN.<br />Hire Van Zeller and her Vanguard colleagues<br />Adam Yamaguchi,Christof Putzel and Kaj<br />Larsen. They chase down stories that you<br />will not see anywhere else. Yamaguchi is<br />the environmental guy.He has an interesting<br />doc coming up on a shortage of toilets<br />around the world that is creating some<br />real problems.TSR is supposed to be<br />old and new media. All of these new<br />breed journalists would fit well with Wolf<br />and even Ancerson. After all, AC did<br />travel the world for stories for ABC<br />in the 90's, The thing is these are fresh<br />faces who can bring a lot to the plate<br />and provide CNN with a wealth of material.<br />I doubt if Current has the money to really<br />make this something big and they do<br />have a following , but a network like<br />CNN is better for them. CNN would have<br />to give them the freedom to tell their<br />stories. Vanguard is the most compelling<br />doc series in ages. If you don't believe<br />me take a look at their work for Current.<br />If it is interesting people will watch.<br />CNN needs a game changer.I don't know<br />if Jim Walton is aware of their work but<br />he should be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-11358871899706673902010-06-02T07:25:59.788-04:002010-06-02T07:25:59.788-04:00CNN please don't compare the Gulf oil spill

Americans was held<br />captive after radicals stormed the US embassy<br />in Teheran.It is time for the analogies to end.<br />There is no comparison to the Gulf oil crisis ;<br />this has never happened before. Also, when <br />going to video,map or graphics can CNN just<br />have the CNN logo and nothing else.It is fine<br />to have the BP live feed while in the studio<br />but CNN needs to quit interfering with video<br />and maps. The on air look is vital to bring<br />in viewers. I want to protest losing a quarter<br />of my tv screen because of intrusive graphics.<br />Anderson is this generations news man.<br />Hipsters know what is going on so they<br />know just how much the news is missing.<br />CNN will never beat FNC or MSNBC by<br />trying to be them.CNN needs to find their<br />Steve Jobs now and come up with some<br />better shows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-36834332258556489722010-06-02T01:37:33.889-04:002010-06-02T01:37:33.889-04:00CNN does not need to have people embedded near the...CNN does not need to have people embedded near the Gulf.

I will tell you that. Just because 360 beat a repeat of the big O on a Friday, means nothing. It was a REPEAT and this is news that is new and important so viewers are tuned in. <br />If you want to get a fair sense of what people are thinking who are OBJECTIVE, follow the comments on TVN. They do not fawn over AC and although I don't always agree with them, they make up a large majority of WHO watches cable news and its demos.<br />I do agree that AC needs "to step up his game." Until he tops one million, as they say in good English, It "DON'T" count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-25429845955375142512010-06-01T21:25:05.016-04:002010-06-01T21:25:05.016-04:00CNN needs to have their people embedded

The repeat<br />at 11 was # 1 in the demo.TVN says Anderson<br />is in the Gulf all week. I noticed that Brian<br />Williams is back and ABC has dispatched <br />some of it's top people. Anderson needs to<br />step up his game. The best thing I saw today<br />was ABC. In the beginning Diane Sawyer started<br />with the facts and then the show went on to<br />different angles. People want to see and hear<br />what is going on now CNN. This is not about<br />Katrina. Right now you can see the work <br />being done to cup the pipe and that is where<br />I hope 360 begins tonight. There is an<br />audience for news, raw reporting and<br />pictures you won't see anywhere else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
