SecondTour Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) Interesting piece in the Times about the business behind local news. I almost never watch local news, so I'm not familiar with the Houston woman mentioned.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/01/business...ml?ref=business Edited December 1, 2008 by SecondTour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The way they bumped off Bob Lobel, Joyce Kulhawik (and to a lesser extent due to a shorter time) Scott Wahle at 'BZ still seems unseemly, but not surprising given the state of everything. Anyway, wasn't actually aware Ms. Campbell was gone. I guess she's one of those solid reporters that just blended into the background over the years...

editor Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I worked with Carolyn Campbell for a couple of years at KHOU. She was OK. Not great. Nothing really special. Didn't do any memorable reports. Didn't do anything particularly bad, either. The Times could have picked better examples from KHOU for that story -- Steve Smith and Dr. Neil Frank leap to mind. Probably could have gotten even better examples from KTRK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm always a bit surprised at the interest in newsreaders. It never struck me as something requiring any particular degree of skill. One wouldn't expect a lot of people still to be getting their news by having it recited to them that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
