Local Reporters

Every time I watch the local news I am inundated with local reporters doing standups, often in the middle of the night at an empty parking lot.  Why?  To introduce a news clip from an incident that occurred hours, and sometimes days, earlier.

I know, I know!  The stations have to justify the fact that they have live feed technology.  I know, I know!  They reporters want to have their all-important face time.  But really, why isn’t the story just introduced by the anchor and the “tape” rolled.

Another example of overkill.

  • Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my
    blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe
    you would have some experience with something like this.

    Please let me know if you run into anything.
    I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  • Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest
    writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog goes over
    a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit
    from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog
    by the way! adreamoftrains best web hosting company
