Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
The one good thing about television is the money; you can make a lot more money than in newspapers.
Some of those stories in local newspapers are just as dull and boring as the stories that I get from on-line services, which are basically sort of straight news.
I don't know how television or radio is going to survive without newspapers because that's where they get all their news. It's going to be hopeless.
The printed newspaper is a powerful showcase for news, opinion and advertising.
We sort of read two or three big newspapers but we don't get the flavor of the local events, the local news as much.
Journalism makes you think fast. You have to speak to people in all walks of life. Especially local journalism.
I've always been a firm believer in local news, because it's an opportunity to connect with the community where you live.
TV journalism is a much more collaborative, horizontal business than print reporting. It has to be, because of the logistics. Anchors are wholly dependent on producers to do all the hustling.
People essentially like local news better than network news.
