Poynter's St. Petersburg Times | Charlotte Observer | "On the Media"
There's real news embedded in the ongoing soap operas involving
Britney Spears and
Anna Nicole Smith, says
Eric Deggans. "And a media-weary public needs quality journalists like [NBC News anchor
Brian] Williams to pull substance out of these tawdry messes." ||
Walker Lundy: "TV went dead-on nuts" over the Anna Nicole story. ||
Bob Garfield: "Editors are like bartenders, who must serve up what's ordered provided they know when to say, 'Sorry, bub, you've had enough.'"
