Sunday Talks : It's a boy

Sundays Talks , The Media 
  Written by Skyler  M
   
     The Big news this week  in the media perspective was the new royal baby , named  Prince George Alexander Louis ( 3 great names for boys by, the way) as the new heir the throne is born  to wait until it will be his time.   The US media even got the bug to cover  the UK royals , as they like to do. The coverage of things like this do get a little weird, the media reporters were sent to stand infront of a hospital door to say the same thing they said 5 minutes ago "No baby yet".   By Monday afternoon in the US time scale  ,we found out that baby is born and it's a boy.  Now many could be bothered by the coverage , but I do say  that at least it's a positive story in the news. Sometimes you need a positive story sometime  and this was.  
                                     View image on Twitter
                                  image: Channel 4 News/ Tuesday
     The  media sent reporters to stand infront of a door to tell everyone that their hasn't been a baby yet  and repeat that about 10  minutes later.   The one thing that happens in coverage is that news likes to stick to coverage instead of also going to other things in the news.   CNN found the oddest way to cover a royal birth, they went to a birth.     But after the reveal and the name came out the coverage did , as it should, winded down.  
     
       Al Jazerra America  is set to launch in a few weeks, it's replacing Current TV ( which I was surprised to see was still doing it's live political programming ).  They have announced their new president  former ABC News executive Kate O' Brian.  The channel says they will be doing news 24/7 LIVE.    Most cable news channels  , give up the live  programming plot at 11PMET or 8pm for the west coast .  MSNBC goes into opinion programming starting around 3PMET (so no news there really)  , Fox News channel goes into opinion first at 5pmet going back to news at 6 and 7pmet ,then returning back to opinion after 8pmet.    The 24/7 strategy  makes wonder if they will be simulcasting AJ English at points in the day.  We used to have Channels that run news live 24/7 CNN used to and HLN (when it was Headline News) used to.  We will update you on them when they launch.
      I do hope that Al Jazerra America won't go into tabloid , opinion, trails all day , junk that  CNN and many other US channels have gone into. Hopefully the keep that promise they won't.

    How much do you care about Anthony Weiner?   Most of the national media seems to think you should care alot about him. The story is not as important unless  you live in New York City and will be voting in the election.  If a story is leading Inside Edition or Entertainment Tonight ... maybe the nightly news shouldn't lead with it?  CBS didn't lead with it, so it is possible to do.  The media loves it because of the sexting part and  his name it works well that way.

CNN's New Day : Review

CNN  Morning Shows 

New Day CNN.jpg      CNN's much anticipated  new morning show  officially started yesterday, with it's hosts  former ABC News anchor and reporter, Chris Cuomo,  Kate Bolduan , and Michaela Pereira.  We decided to review the 2nd day ,to see if  any first  jitters would be less into account.  The Program starts with   the hosts telling you what's coming next , and a voice overs by James Earl Jones. The program starts in bright studio with brick like walls all 3 hosts are sitting together on  desk.  The first hour is mostly updating you on news stories , with some reporters doing reports live or taped.   Cuomo and Bolduan alternate the first few headlines then Pereira does the last few . Unlike "Today Show or Good Morning America" there is alot  more news content in the program .   Around 6:50 AMET  something happens that  either is for premiere week or a permanent feature , the program keeps on going  around 7AMET  it's introduced as being part of "30 Minutes of commercial free news " , that's an interesting feature the networks don't do or would even try to do.
     In the 2nd hour they go more long form on the stories , talking with guests  and reporters about some select stories. The set has a couch on it  , though it's only used when doing lighter segments  for example when "Early Start" co-anchor John Berman joins the show at the bottom of each hour to share.  Unlike "Today" or "GMA" which de-camp to the couch after 7:30AMET.   The program ,as promised , doesn't have a cooking segment , or concerts that's more like "CBS This Morning " , sister morning show "Morning Express" or other CNN morning shows in the past.  The 3rd hour is close to the 2nd in style.
     The program does have a news heavy agenda ,that CNN has been trying to enforce while at the same time they do fill in with lots of lighter stories.  The hosts seem like they like each other , hopefully they aren't faking .  It also has  good feel with some regular segments for business news , weather, and sports.  I think CNN has made some good ideas here and hopefully they keep that formula going.  It does look that they are keeping their promise of "not trying to reinvent the wheel" , since there not a lot of ways you can go with a morning show especially in this US TV market where there are so many of them .  The hosts  do work well with each other so far , I think that will be even more after they've been doing the show for awhile. It maybe because it's not an election year but the program doesn't seem to top loaded with politics , or any lighter stories though the mix could be improved a bit more , but that probably is dependent on what the news cycle is.
      I say give it  try to see what you think , airs weekdays on CNN from 6-9AMET that's 3-6 AM PT , since it's  cable news.
