Less Than Nothing
Can cable television "journalists" envision nothing more for themselves and their medium than live blathering?
Stewart nails it...again.
What about slowing down? I suggested just that in my rambling post about the other day--especially when working with citizen journalists. What about TV slowing down?
Is it the medium of television that demands immediate live blathering or is it our (mis)interpretation of the medium's demands?
We know this for sure (well, duh): TV must have pictures and sound.
I understand the need to feed the beast, but does it need to be a live meal?
It seems to me that while journalists report --e.g. try to find the answers to questions -- those left in the studio and newsroom could be doing something else. Hmmmmmm... what would that be?
