One, the cover story of the Scene section today is about a new News10 show in the works that promises to create controversy by blending news content with advertising. Of course, if you’re reading SacRag today you’re probably thinking, like I am, This is different from other local news how exactly?
Two, there is a mountain lion on the prowl in River Park. Yikes. At least River Parkians can take the high ground of the levee. Although, since that’s probably where this guy came from, maybe that’s just what he wants them to do?
Have we learned nothing in the last twenty years? Ever since my favorite media personality, “The Green Grocer” was taken off the air, it’s been violently clear that people do not like their news tampered with. Keep it straight and simple, like coffee or cocaine and people will continue to watch. A scrolling banner with Galt real-estate prices will not bring you a larger share of the ratings pie. It just won’t, sorry.
