*Fox management want both to "retire"--they won't go quietly, if at all.
*Fox offering generous buyouts --but not generous enough.
*With push by suits to go to MMJ format, senior reporters fear move will make it easier to dispose of them.
*The "FIGHT" of the year emerging.
I give up. What is MMJ?
ReplyDeleteSounds like the time I beat the crap out of my sister when I was 7...Steven Say HOCK!!! Weeee!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone notice Tom Vacar of ktvu taking Bob Brinker's spot on Money Talk at ksfo on Sunday? Is he branching into radio?
ReplyDeleteoooooops - just read the next post: MMJ (Multi-Media journalist). Thanks, Rich.
ReplyDeleteMMJ=Multi-Media Journalist. Essentially, you're a one-man-band: you research the story, set up cameras/lights, interview newsmakers, pack up everything and move on. It's news on the cheap, pure and simple.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated for excellent MMJ explanation. I think I saw a Ch 4/KRON reporter doing that a few weeks ago both as a story and the nuts & bolts what an MMJ does.
ReplyDeleteAh, that's what MMJ is - Yeah, KRON does that a lot. Evident by whatever that show is called, Behind the Stories or something like that.
