TV News
Very interesting development in TV News: blogging by the news presenters. Brian Williams, NBC’s nightly news anchor, has a blog (can’t link directly; click on "The Daily Nightly" to see the most recent entries). An August 25 New York Times story discusses the blog and Williams' approach to it. Maybe better than therapy?
Anyway, interesting to see behind the scenes of television news production. The blog also features entries from other reporters as well as news writers and producers.
And on a related note, TV Newser is a cool blog about, well, tv news.
