I can only think of a very few TV journalists that were given the platform like Murrow or Andy Rooney. I realize that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram are personal accounts, but I don't think everyone makes that distinction. On the flip side, using social media to promote your personal brand and keep up with followers lowers the seriousness and responsibility of journalism. I'm sure Gasia and others think it tends to make them more approachable and makes viewers more loyal, and it may do that, but it also has the opposite effect, demeaning the profession. I don't want my political representatives, cops, firefighters, heck, even my plumber, taking selfies while he or she is fixing a kitchen pipe leak or having a break at the donut shop. It doesn't add to feelings of credibility for professionals Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-52798300691958858642016-05-04T07:05:58.333-07:002016-05-04T07:05:58.333-07:00The Latina that I like to watch is Marla Tellez vi...The Latina that I like to watch is Marla Tellez via live stream from Fox11 (LA) in the early AM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-32770937480267417682016-05-03T22:23:00.545-07:002016-05-03T22:23:00.545-07:00Frank was never watchable, but this sensitive shit...Frank was never watchable, but this sensitive shit has made him bloody insufferable.

I blame all of those under 35 years of age, because for some reason they can't take a damned thing seriously or manage to pay attention to anything for longer than 5 minutes. Add to that a corporate hierarchy concerned with only profit and here we are. When we lost Al Jazeera America we lost the last source of actual, in-depth international news. Our local news here in the Bay Area has been dead for quite some time now. There are things going on in our communities at a granular level that we should know about, that should be covered by our local stations.. but instead we have Kristen Sze standing in front of a TV wall displaying Twitter quotes. STOP SHOWING TWITTER QUOTES ON THE NEWS; THAT SHIT ISN'T FUCKING NEWS. If I wanted to know what douchebag #10,432 had to say on Twitter I'd go there and read it. Then you have the coverage of Apple's latest gadget; THAT SHIT ISN'T FUCKING NEWS! IT'S A GODDAMNED COMMERCIAL! Who the hell is responsible for this shit? It's embarrassing. Can we get some actual in-depth news about local issues please? And I mean IN-DEPTH, not just 5 seconds and a Twitter/Facebook post and then onto the next thing; actual detail and deeper fact sourcing. Let me put it to you in a way you'll understand - you'll make more profit with more eyeballs on your programs.

Some aspects of social media actually serve a purpose, but in the world of TV journalism (or what little real journalism remains on the major networks), social media has eroded anything resembling in-depth reporting. It's simply become too expensive to pay good, highly professional people in this industry. The bottom line is, after all, keeping the shareholders happy.<br /><br />From what I've read on this blog, youngsters like Aqui and Zouves are now popping up everywhere and just like that.....it's okay to swoon, giggle, take selfies and flash gangster signs.
