News10 news director weighs in on inform vs. exploit

Posted April 6, 2007 at 9:18 PM by CoolDMZ in Links, Local Media (No comments)

The Bee’s Sam McManis clued me in tonight to a blog post by Stacy Owen, News Director at News10, about the interview of the daughter of Annette Brodovsky that I ranted about earlier this week. She has some interesting things to say: “In the newsroom, we even alerted each other to local blogs about that interview.” Heh.

I love reading that Karen Massie expressed reservations about the assignment; I was right about her. About Owen’s conclusion though, I’m not sure. The family told you they wanted to talk on camera…after you asked them. Obviously I don’t have to deal with that moral dilemma so I have no idea what I would actually do with this situation. I do think it’s a great thing for a news director to explain the newsroom thought process because it goes a long way toward making cynical folks like me understand.
