CNN had team coverage at the top of the hour. Yes, it's a big story, but there's little additional information at the moment other than a social media post from a famously not very credible source. The country (and the world) is on fire right now. CNN can cover multiple stories at once.

I'd imagine that broadcast journalism is a rigorous career, and its not for the faint of heart, so kudos for her in her realization on that and kudos to her for her courage to accept that this was not the journey for her especially after 12 years! - I guess Reagan Medgie echoed the same sentiment when she left back in April.

Good to see this graphics package is making it's way around Nexstar. The CBS look was getting a little stale.

With all the fill-in shifts she does, I suspect she probably has as much airtime as some of the permanent anchors! On another note, I think John Vause might have quietly left. He hasn't been on air since the end of August, and there's probably no place for him in the schedule with this new L.A. show starting at the end of this month. Another old CNNI face gone...

Per their IG (@cbsmornings), CBS Mornings will move into their new studio on Monday 9/29. I believe it is safe to assume that it will be some form of the CBSEN studio. Good for them, but it speaks volumes that they are touting themselves as #1 with a 1.5 HH rating. That kind of number back in the day would have them as bottom dweller material. Streaming and social media has definitely changed the landscape. Also, the numbers are misleading since these markets vary in size and households.

News-Press & Gazette’s KION (CBS/Fox) is ending their news operation after 56 years, effective immediately.

I agree my relationship with journalism is back and fourth, right now I’m on medication to improve my mood. Sometimes I like journalism as I’m currently studying it sometimes I don’t it depends I’m still passionate about it, I like writing, I ask good questions, I like research and in-depth reporting that’s one of my passions, but stuff like media law and ethics are just ehh to me. But no I love it, yes it sad to be in it right now why I’m taking a break but cmon I don’t think tv news is going to die completely, it will just evolve just have to find a way to make it watchable again. Some solutions is to stop elevating Gen Z journalists in the early to mid twenties to large markets so quickly, I feel egos and smell narcissism from them not all of them but the way they are on social media some reporters, anchors and meteorologists I can tell and viewers can tell too. I don’t like TV personalities who are obsessive on social media I know you need it but a lot of it is tacky and corny I find it annoying. I really hate when tv personalities share there politics or causes on tv or social media, viewers find that stuff annoying. And stop covering race, and DEI, gender, and equality stories and stuff about diversity, this country really is tired of it. Sometimes I feel like it’s an agenda being pushed on me and others feel the same that’s why people don’t watch, the race and gender talk is annoying. I personally don’t follow any journalists for mental health reasons becasue of that I have a separate public Instagram page where I follow them. As for passion that up to the person.
