[...] As the Lost Remote blog points out, TV news staffers need to quickly expand their skill sets and become proactive about contributing content on multiple platforms. “While it won’t look anything like TV news, it will still inform, educate and enlighten. And journalism will still play an important role.” [...]

MTVN to cut jobs to grow digital - Lost Remote TV Blog — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:09:38 +0000

[...] Viacom is expected to announce today that it plans to cut 250 jobs at MTV Networks in an effort to invest more money in digital media. The goal is to consolidate positions in production, human resources and legal across MTVN’s operating units. Last week, Discovery announced a variety of cuts to shift resources to digital. As we’ve written many times here on Lost Remote, these job cuts will intensify over the next couple of years across the industry, and TV staffers who haven’t taken the effort to learn digital skills will be the first to go.

[...] NBC, as you may recall, is in dutch with parent company GE. They have been tasked with saving the company $750 million over the next couple of years. Well, they have been talking about getting rid of their pricey dramas and replacing them with reality shows; they’ve been consolidating office space; they’ve even rolled back the “free light bulbs for full-time employees” program. But I’ve found the real solution, and I’m sharing it for free. [...]

I devoted 4 years studying broadcast, then realized that everything is headed for the internet. So I’m taking one more year to get my master’s in online journalism. I love producing, and knowing how to work with the internet hopefully will help me get a job. It’s things like this that make me think I made the right decision.

Working with the CNN-style central booking desk may work. But there will always be competition between shows, and the anchors that drive them, for the same people. Today and MSNBC may want the same people, but more eyeballs watch Today. So they may win that battle. Isn’t there already a person at NBC News who allegedly works with the shows to smooth out booking stuff?
Centralized, hubbed graphics do work; the NBC O+O’s have been using the system for about 3 years now.
Having one big sat-ops desk based at Englewood Cliffs (which has room for expansion) makes sense.
Everyone has their fiefdoms. And that includes the broadcast unions, who want their piece of the action that’s coming to 30 Rock, which is a union shop.

Cory, you’ve got it wrong. TV 2.0 doesn’t have anything to do with digital skills. It has everything to do with consolidating all of the different booking desks, graphics departments, sat ops groups and correspondents. It’s about moving away from self-contained individual show units at NBC (Today show, this means you) and MSNBC that compete against each other for guests. It’s about using the bureaus and News Channel more effectively. It’s about sharing talent across the show units and cable networks instead of wasting an hour and a half sitting in gridlock shuttling people back and forth between Secaucus and New York.

Bravo, Jim. The Today Show has never looked and sounded worse. It’s like a bad Lifetime set with a very mismatched set of energies. Katie had an energy and a humor that Meredith has none of. She’s so f-’ing uptight that she sucks the air out of the rest of the cast. They are left to doing silly mocking “gags” that fall very flat. Meredith Viera was a terrible choice she’s a “C”player at best and GE doesn’t keep “C” players on board. So they say.

Good points Dan… ‘

Yes, content creators can be retooled, the question is, do they really want to? So far, I haven’t seen a lot of initiative across the industry. To most of them, contributing to the web means giving a heads up to a web producer.

Learning the technology is not the issue here. It’s learning how to let go of the rules of broadcasting to adopt a much more creative medium that allows video, text, photos, data, mapping, etc, all integrated into an interactive screen. How can you best use technology to tell a story? That\’s not easy to learn, and so far, very few reporters and photographers and producers in TV have bothered to try.

Now the problem is, there’s little time to teach them if they haven’t taught themselves — which they should’ve been doing all along in the interest of career preservation. There are lots of content creators/journalists out there who get the web and get video for the web. And they\’re good storytellers. TV news doesn\’t have a lock on storytelling.

It’s unfortunate that there are layoffs. But TV news people everywhere should get the lesson here: there will be cost-cutting across the board in broadcasting, and the people who have taken the initiative to increase their digital skills will stay on the job. And they’ll be the ones telling the stories of tomorrow.

How many find it disturbing that of 750 jobs to be lost, Meredith Veira and her reported $11 million annual salary stays on?

Granted she’s been in the major leagues for a while, I have watched her since her “Today” debut and I find her to be adequate at best at her job.

Does this mean Al Roker has to produce his own weather maps? Will his producer be bounced?

Does this mean a reduction in set costs for “Today?” I can recall the props used in segments on new movies and other things using an array of items which must have cost a significant amount of money each day.

Take a look at Ann Curry’s news updates. They tend to use odd camera angles, angles that don’t belong on the show. Why not just replace her with someone that is working out of the newsroom and can provide “real news” instead of a script that is a rehash from “Nightly.”

And think about the excessive expense in having 4 people on the NFL Sunday Night intro show. Costas and Collinsworth is more than enough. Peter King should be shown the door, especially after he announced “my sources tell me (Titans DE) would be suspended at most one game….” The guy got the most severe penalty outside of a drug suspension.

Many of the names above are not the hunters and gatherers. They are the ones who are chaufferred to work each morning.
