[...] I was a little taken aback, but the next day I realized I shouldn’t take it personally. He participated in a panel discussion at the regional RTNDA conference and it turned nasty quickly. Apparently he also lurks on a lot of online TV news discussion forums and lashes out at anyone who disagrees with his predictions of an all VJ-future… He may be a visionary, but maybe he’s not the best ambassador for the “future of television.” [...]

Why won’t it work in the United States as opposed to Europe where it apparently is taking hold?

“It’s the GUY with the camera and the laptop.”

As for female reporters becoming VJ’s, I’ve worked with a whole lot of reporters who I believe,
simply could not do it.

Maybe they were just not good with electronics, or managing the subleties of a non-linear editor.
Or simply don’t want to be bothered.

You’re asking that the attractive 25 year old women working as TV reporters,
who grew up watching TV. praising TV,
and emulating all that is trendy on TV,
should now drop the makeup and the ruse,

and grab the camera, sticks and editor.

How many women in this business do you know that do that?
Some…
A few.
I don’t know any.

I’m sure there are some women doing a bang-up job with it professionally.
To me, it seems like a rare find.

When I do find her…beer’s on me.

Makes you wonder.
Will the business be trending towards more male VJ’s,
because of the inherent physical obstacles in gathering news?

I thought local news was now in the process of “feminization”.
Wasn’t local TV news being aimed at the women who actually watch the news at 5′o’clock.

All about the women…right?

I would very much like to meet the woman who steps up to the challenge of being a VJ.

If she showed up at one of my press conferences, she’d get plenty of help from me.

And props for making the effort.

Rosenblum’s approach is also highly controversial among reporters. I’ve known many a talented broadcaster who left a station that was transitioning to a one-man-band system.

Where do these concerns fit in to the discussion:
Newscasts:
- that used to have 12 minutes per hour of commercial
time now have twice that amount or more.
- that used to report the news, now spend many minutes per newscast, simply promoting the next story.
- that used to cover issues of importance to citizens
like city and state government, now don’t cover this
at all unless there is scandal.
- that make law breakers and police action the single, most important thing going on in their town.

How do these issues effect the number of viewers of a newscast? And how do they effect “who” is watching?
Or is the opinion that the newscast itself is not the concern, it’s simply that people don’t have time for it
anymore? And since viewership is going to be low,
then to survive you must produce a show at less cost.

Monorail, monorail, monorail.
From the Simpsons:
A fast-talking charmer (Phil Hartman) sells Springfield a monorail of dubious necessity and, Marge learns, highly dubious quality.
(FYI episode written by Conan O’Brien)
Just see any photographers’ board and you’ll see what’s really up.
In the United States … it doesn’t work.
