The idea that they want to do a better, more grass-roots form of news is LAUGHABLE, readers.
So WHY would they want reporters scattered across the U.S., readers?
What FALSE-FLAG ATTACK is COMING?
"CNN to add reporters in 10 cities" by Associated Press | August 13, 2008
LOS ANGELES - CNN said yesterday it's adding journalists in 10 cities to provide broader, more nimble TV and online coverage of news nationwide.
The move comes as newspapers and other media companies are forced to cut back and lay off because of sweeping changes triggered by the growth of the Internet and because of the slumping US economy.
Each city will get one person who can provide "grass-roots level" coverage of breaking news and other local stories, said Nancy Lane, senior vice president of news gathering for CNN/U.S.
The mix of traditional general assignment reporters and "all-platform journalists" may be based at affiliate stations, colleges, or even at home, Lane said, with the best available technology to file filmed and photographic reports via laptop computers and PDAs.
Some of the new jobs may be filled by correspondents now with CNN's daytime and prime-time programs, the network said.
The journalists will be located in Philadelphia; Columbus, Ohio; Denver; Seattle; Houston; Las Vegas; Orlando, Fla.; Phoenix; Raleigh, N.C., area; and Minneapolis, where the approach was tested and is in operation."Something STINKS, readers -- other than ZNN's woeful "news" coverage.
