TV News Ideas

(updated 13 Feb 2014)

About The Ideas Series   I hope you will agree that  that TV news storytelling can be improved.  In my own 50 years of TV news storytelling I have had many learning mistakes, a good dollop of self-imnportance, and a belated realization that we owe the public something better.    I am offering ideas and opinions based upon my experience, observation and study.   My comments about TV News are not directed to or toward any particular stations.  As I indicated, there is no mistake that I have not myself commited at one time or another.

Part 1 – Why TV News Should Use Serial Storytelling    Part 2 – A Radical Idea:  Teenage Reporters (includes update)   Part 3 – Enhanced Storytelling

Comments  If you wish to comment, please do so or send me a personal email, I will respond to you directly.  If you wish for me to publish your name with comments, please specify.   I welcome disagreement.   You might be able to prove me wrong,. and when you do I will ackknowledge it.
