Journalism as defined by a St. Louis newscast

Made it 35 seconds. That was awful.

 

Her bosses/coworkers and 80 percent of her viewers probably think she behaved perfectly appropriate for that piece. Sad, but oh well.

If I was in charge there, I would have a bigger problem with the other station employee (a cameraman?) being kind of a dick when some people criticized the piece on the story comments.

 

Cool story, doodah.

 

If he didn't, he should have.

 

Journalist should forever be removed from this woman's job title.

 

See Darren Rovell and Kate Upton. Though, just like with the Freese piece, whether the "reporter" is a "journalist" is very much up for debate.

 

Some STL radio station used this tagline and added "...then rolls over and smokes a cigarette" as a dig about 15 years ago.

 

The NBC affiliate in Phoenix used to say "12 stands for local news." I always wondered if that meant they sat down when it was nation/world news.

 

What are the best TV news operations outside the Top 25 or 50?

 

I can assure you none of the stations I have worked for!

 

Mine is pretty damn good and, often times, I am very proud of the work we do and our place in the community. But I know we are a rarity in this declining age.
