It's local, topical, often funny and Harper says what's on his mind. It's very un-anchor-like. http://www.myeyewitnessnews.com/blog/cameron/default.aspx Listening to Don Perry of Clear Channel reminds me that one of the best local anchor blogs out there is by Cameron Harper of the CC Memphis station.

Leave the anchor photos (and bios) up....just please, don't run them clear across the top of the screen.

As we keep saying, THE WEB IS NOT TV. Putting anchors across the top reinforces the fact that your website is primarily a reference and promotional vehicle for the TV station, not a standalone source of news and information.

The debate is usually along the lines of "But it's such a great place to promote our anchors!" Without understanding that doing that is also a great way to 1. Look like every other anchor site and 2. Dilute the importance of your site itself as a news source. Warley's right: you want to promote your anchors? Have them promote themselves by adding their words to the site. Homogeneous sites are the enemy of local news. A hint: sometimes it's easier to forget a design element than win an argument. I'm just sayin', is all... It’s not an argument you can win easily.
