  1. Can you just submit ideas. Like say a show
    title. Are they really serious ? Do you have
    to move to NYC ?

  2. Hire George Mark Paul Stroumboulopoulos
    from the CBC and bring back The Hour in
    America.

  3. To Erin Burnett: You will NEED the best team on earth for your new CNN show.
    Obviously you haven't found this yet.

  4. Hey kids CNN would never hire Strombo or
    Mark Kelley. Both are smart and not into
    stunts. They make their shows about the
    news and people. Besides neither is ratings
    repellent.

  5. That says to me that Erin will be on for more
    than 1 hr. Of course, that means she will not
    be on the prime time lineup, It sounds like
    CNN is hiring more behind the scenes people.

    CNN needs to really stop torturing viewers.
    On Friday, Piers Morgan gets 2 hrs. Not like
    he is doing anything for 1. But that is the
    story with CNN.

  6. Maybe for once CNN is taking it's time and
    trying to do something right by September.
    At the same time you have fires breaking
    out all over CNN. Morning,day & night. CNN
    can't ignore those issues either. Maybe now
    CNN should be doing some alternative shows
    during the summer. No one will exactly miss
    Piers Morgan or Eliot Spitzer. Rotating shows
    and anchors.

    There have been some good ideas floated on
    this blog. A drama like Wire news series is a
    a good place to start. Just roll the cameras
    all day in the newsroom. That costs nothing
    all you need is a team of producers,writers,
    videographers, surf the web for really cool
    stuff.CNN could learn a lot from Ellen here.
    When she sees talent on the internet, Ellen
    has them on her show.It is summer see if
    you can get some potential shows going
    on down the line. I also hope that CNN will
    have shows that are an hour instead of 2
    hours. The network needs more shows.
    It is not like they don't have access to CNN
    International, TW web properties and all
    of the stations CNN gathers news stories
    from all across the country. In this day and
    time you have to have a huge content and
    story-telling team behind the scenes. The
    job for this team would be to keep CNN
    fresh and current all day long. They look
    at every piece of video, all stories and
    interviews going on any materials they
    might see. CNN has to start putting out
    a better product on a daily basis. CNN
    needs a new model. One that is ground-
    breaking,innovative and original. Make
    it so that the only place I can see this
    is on CNN.. For goodness sakes people
    you can get a huge amount of content
    from CNN.dot.com alone and turn that
    into a hour prime time show at 9 PM
    for the summer. Make it look like the
    internet with a media player with the
    times to the left/right. Build apps for
    the network that is like a quick time
    player or windows media player.

  7. Old media news has to hire digital journos,
    ask viewers if they want to be contributors.
    The questions except the multiple choice
    news related ones are useless. We are in an
    era in which viewers exchange news and
    info. I don't see why CNN has a problem with
    collective journalism from viewers. Reddit is
    awesome. You have You Tube & Vimeo and
    people who just go out with devices to
    record just about anything.CNN has to form
    relationships with the creative community
    and not the ideological types that control
    the content. Heck even Spike Jonz has a
    news venture.I know 10 yr olds who can
    find news from all around the world on the
    web. It is not rocket science.

  8. I am really surprised that CNN has not invested
    in virtual set technology. I have only seen it on
    BBC and now Bloomberg. You can create virtual
    settings. It is sort of like the ads you see while
    watching sports behind the players they are not
    really there and only viewers at home can them.
    CNN would be able to create virtual worlds and
    settings for any type of story. Don't get me
    wrong you still need real sets but the virtual
    world enhances the product. You would be
    able to put Wolf in the middle of the Senate.
    Instead of the dull double box, you can make
    it look like Jeff is actually in the studio with
    Anderson. You would see his image next to
    Anderson when they use a full shot in studio.
    Jeff is not sitting. They look like they are
    on a glass screen. It works betting if CNN
    had an simple desk where Anderson or
    Wolf could stand during the interview.

  9. Sweet heavens!
    How I wish I was in college and done with studying broadcast journalism. I would do this in a heartbeat!

    CNN I love you. I may be 16 now, but in a few years you'll be hearing from me ;)
