Many staffers express discontent with the new regime, saying it’s not possible to make “60 Minutes”- style pieces on a limited budget and tight time constraints
60 Minutes cut back from two editions to one earlier this year, yet if you take Klein literally, he wants to produce longer, more polished pieces seven nights per week.
My reading of cable news is that it’s much like the Web — events drive reader interest. You have to be nimble in your reaction to the news flow.
I would be surprised to find viewers will tune in and stick around for lengthy features if there’s no actual news happening.
The piece only briefly mentioned her, but one would have thougth Judy Woodruff would still around for that type of refocusing; she was a PBS stalwart for years before joining CNN. But she’s going since they cancelled Inside Politics.
CNN couldn’t find something interesting for her to do in exchange, or did they just want to get rid of her?
Anyway, I wish Mr. Klein luck, but I suspect he won’t still be CNN’s president two years from now.
