..you hit it!
It is the reason TV news is dying nationwide.
Now...we need good teases..and live shots and great video..
But what we need most is great story telling!
However..to get great storytelling you need great stories and only good, connected, diligent and tenacious reporters can dig those up.
You won't get them over the fax machine or on a VNR...
or..from Drudge...
If you want to WIN...report..
or..better yet..dig up good stories and promote them and tell them..HONESTLY..
You will be #1 in your market.

is journalist who don't stand up and say enough is enough. Job security and a paycheck has done more harm to a profession that was once a "calling." Voices are muted except on this board, and then again, on this board it is anonymous...so the beat goes on and journalism will drown in its inability to police itself.
