CNN too

When Jamie McIntyre came to JOUR289I class on Thursday, something he said made my ears perk up. He made a reference to Rick Sanchez’s attempt to involve audiences making him another person to realize the audience’s impact. I further researched the topic and found this blurb on Sanchez’s blog.

“Rick's List is not a CNN newscast...it's YOUR newscast! Every day from 3:00 to 5:00 PM ET, Rick Sanchez presents two audience-driven, interactive hours of the day's news and smart conversation. Want to get involved? Sure you do! So get online. Now!”

the blog also stated,”Now let's hear from you!”


What would this form of blogging mean to newscast? As entertainment television blogs allows fans ands tars to communicate about episodes and events, world news would be another level of involving fans. Technological audiences will expand from sharing opinions to sharing facts and informative information.

This also makes me wonder, what other well known newscasters will begin to open such an access to audiences?

Other outlets for communication to Sanchez include his Facebook and Twitter account. Both are easily accessed through clicking on them from his blog.
