Not to please us pres geeks but even casual viewers would find it interesting how it all works. The behind the scenes live streams on Facebook were always quite popular.I really disagree. Might be justifiable occasionally, but these kinds of segments are slow, unnecessary and should not become regular features. Walking over to somebody in the newsroom, explaining slowly what you are doing - all wastes time in a medium that is supposed to avoid time wasting. If a reporter has something interesting to say, they should be brought into the studio and deliver their report there, not bothered at their desk (which, aside from anything, will have worse sound and lighting and cause disruption to their neighbouring colleagues).
I'm all for interesting presentation, but changes should always work to add to my understanding of the story. Presentation that is just different for its own sake is just a gimmick.
