Yeah, but. Listening the first two nights (er.. mornings), I was worried from hearing all the trite, happy talk from the hosts in the inaugural broadcast. But the second helping turned out to be much more in the vein of "The World Today" with more "hard news" and serious reporting than what I heard the first night. Focusing on Africa (no pun intended) is not a bad thing; we could all stand to learn and know more about events on that continent on a regular basis. And while there is greater emphasis there in "Newsday" than there was in "The World Today", the rest of the globe hasn't exactly gone wanting thus far. Syria, Aurora (Colorado) and the Euro debt crisis all got ample time last night.
I would argue that the jury is still out. Most people are resistent to change. I recall that there were similar complaints when "The World Today" debuted, too, in 1998.
