Even worse, there are at least 10 minutes of crime related or election relates stories several weeks leading up to Election Day
, all of it before the first commercial break.
I get that. But does the news always have to start with such sad news
every single night?
This isn't anything new. This has been going on for over 30 years. Look on YouTube and see certain local newscasts from 1990 on previous, and you will see quite a difference in overall presentation. The biggest difference in my opinion, there was no fluff or sugarcoating of any significance.
Nowadays, it's a bunch of talking heads merely reading the news and giving off commentary that contains points not worth hearing, instead of having actual reporting
.
I am sure every anchor's college degrees are on their websites. My best advice, try to email the news directors and see what steps you should take to make the news sound better. Question why they are "the best station in town" or "People trust us so we can be accurate, we are fair, and we get it right."
You would be surprised to see what difference viewers can make to change the tone of a newscast, regardless if their 11 p.m. news is ranked second, third, or fourth.
But that's what I have learned, and I have a degree in communications so I do many valid points worth considering.
