Is CNN Finished?

michael's blog

Where is Larry King? CNN, once the very cutting edge of broadcast news may be about finished. Michael Hirshorn, writing in New York Magazine this week says as much. Last week, Nielsen reported that CNN had lost roughly half its prime-time viewers in the first quarter of 2010 compared with a year earlier, despite news events like the Haiti earthquake. Meanwhile, Fox New's talk radio on TV propelled it to second place among all cable networks in the same time period. In 2009, led by the

Videojournalist Khalid Mohtaseb covers the Haiti earthquake with a 5dmkII DSLR Newshooter is a fantastic online resource for the revolution in 35mm cameras moving to video news production. Mohtaseb's work is stunning, as is his story. Clearly, the working news VJ has an enormous opportunity to greatly expand their video power in the field.

michael's blog

Books that re-wire your brain In yesterday's New York Times, columnist Nick Kristof ran a piece, âThe Boys Have Fallen Behindâ. The focus of Krisofs' piece was that across the boards, with the exception of math, there is an academic gender gap, with boys falling far behind girls in achievement. Â¶The average high school grade point average is 3.09 for girls and 2.86 for boys. Boys are almost twice as likely as girls to repeat a grade. Â¶Boys are twice as likely to get suspended as g
