A sad day for journalism
I am heartbroken to read that CNN has decided to let Aaron Brown go and replace 'Newsnight' with Anderson Cooper's '360.' Not that there is anything wrong with Cooper-I find him very entertaining, but no Aaron Brown.
It's been a hard fall for real journalism. First the sad passing of ABC's Peter Jennings, then the announcement that ABC's 'Nightline' would be going off the air this month, and now the loss of Mr. Brown.
Next we're going to hear that Fox News is going to become the US's official news station.
*On a related note. ABC's Good Morning America started to broadcast in high def this morning. I've been in love with Diane Sawyer for years- but I am not quite sure I want to see her quite that clearly. Also they previewed a new set today. Not a fan.
But [Aaron Brown's] 10 p.m. program, frequently cited as a serious effort to summarize the news of the day, never seized a large audience; like other CNN programs, it fell far behind its competition at the Fox News Channel.Are we really going to start judging our journalistic standards by Fox News.
