De-emphasizing content in favor of catchy visual elements https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/cbs-news-24-7-streaming-whip-around-debut-1236048681/
I was going to school up in Washington in the 1990s when they debuted the “out of the box” format. For the uninitiated, out of the box was when anchors stood instead of sat, because standing gives viewers a greater sense of urgency/immediacy. After about six months there was a legitimate breaking news story, and the standing anchors looked dazed and confused as they walked aimlessly/directionless through the newsroom, so instead of urgency viewers felt lost and disoriented. Ultimately journalism is about informative storytelling. I don’t know that a wall of jumbled images from around the world will lead to better stories being told. Kevin M.
