Jess 1110 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hoo boy. ITN/ITV News is capable of decent news coverage, and they've had a relationship with NBC for years now, so I can understand the move. But she comes from the ITV side, which has a reputation towards the trashy, though admittedly her reign has produced some pretty good journalism compared to what they were doing. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean "let's take Today lighter" because I think making it more serious - which they're trying to do - and somewhat of a "middle road" compared to ABC's fluff and CBS' straight news is the way to go.
