RE: CNN - Newsroom - 08-06-2023
Brian Steltar, famously axed without reason by Chris Licht wrote a really good piece for the Washington Post yesterday which takes a look at what went on and lead to his firing!
It is paywalled, but you get one free read!

CNN definitely no longer is the first source for news.

He's right on the hypothesis that it must be an ideological decision by Malone. There's just no business sense in shifting to the 'centre' (which is actually the right). Just see what happened when Fox News happened to shift to a be a little more fact-based when they called Arizona for Biden! If viewers on the right would quit Fox in non-negligible numbers for what is really not even proper 'centrist' reporting (it was the regular Fox News in primetime!), what makes anyone think that shifting a little to the right would attract these viewers? And let's be frank, the only viewers that they'd be seeking to attract would be those who already watch cable news, no one who quit watching cable news years ago will switch their TV back on just because CNN is now doing bothsidism.
And beyond the reputational damage bothsidism like the Trump Town Hall causes, ratings matter regardless of what they say. See the cuts which happened recently at CNN. Pragmatism will eventually take the upper hand over ideology again. The network can't keep hemorrhaging viewers which would affect profits especially considering that Discovery needs to find its new footing after the merger.

A tidbit from Oliver Darcy’s tweet: CNN’s control rooms/galleries moved from CNN Center to Techwood earlier this week.

That reads like a very well thought out and executed comms to staff. I'd imagine that will have gone down well.

Becky mentioned earlier this week, but I was not sure I understood it correctly.
RE: CNN - mouseboy33 - 08-06-2023
The joint US/UK Biden/Sunak press conference today was branded as HAPPENING NOW and not Breaking News. Interesting. Under Zucker this would have been Breaking News. BBC even branded it as Breaking News. Back in the day CNN would brand these as LIVE EVENT. This is how Al Jazeera brands them today. Its good to see them moving away from calling everything breaking news.
RE: CNN - sky303 - 08-06-2023
That was one of Licht's changes, and I do hope they stay on that path instead of going back to everything is Breaking News.... like MSNBC does and ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News do it a lot too...

John King's last Inside Politics show is tomorrow with Dana Bash taking over from Monday as confirmed on The Situation Room this evening.
And Trump has been indicted again so I'm expecting full on rolling Trump coverage tonight and tomorrow and that Rishi interview probably isn't going to air.
