Clever clever clever. CNN is doing a great job visually showing the breaking news. Today is a special coverage of Supreme Court coverage of the Trump ballot case. BUT there is only audio. The problem how do you visually tell that story in an interesting way. They are using their video walls to share information but then also they have created dynamic graphics to show who is speaking. If there is a conversation between two people their image is shown. And as they speak the colour behind their picture turns red from gray. This switches back and forth as they speak. VERY CLEVER. So the viewer knows who is speaking, but its far more interesting than just showing a full screen graphic. Which is quite boring. Kudos to CNN. This is being done by FNC and MSNBC to an extent, but the red background change is clever.
