I am wondering how the list thinks TV News has been covering the Invasion, and if any outlets have shown themselves to be particularly strong or weak.
I have been following on TV mostly with CNN and BBC, with some MSNBC and ABC. Online I have been using Twitter, which has a lot more information, but a higher ratio of it is unreliable. It seems to me CNN still rules when it comes to stories like this (and I almost never watch them for regular news). I suppose their foreign bureaus are not as well staffed as the past, but it seems they still have more people on the ground than the other outlets. I still mostly switch them off when it comes to panels. MSNBC has Richard Engles, who is great, but they seem to mostly be repeating reportage from others. I do still like their approach to panels - gathering print journalists to discuss their work, though that is less valuable on an actual breaking story 5000 miles away. The BBC (it seems like we are getting their world feed or whatever they call it via BBCA) is lower key, but also seems to have boots on the ground. It’s harder for me to tell what is live and what is delayed, which is irritating. What would happen if there were no more “linear” television outlets on stories like these? I read the papers often during the day, and the AP, and Twitter, but there would be a huge hole without television news organizations with ongoing assets in the field. Will Amazon or Hulu be doing that down the road? I guess I will have to get CNN+ -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
