To be clear, my little rant had more to do with the laziness of WDIV, who figured it would be easier to cover a story that by dumb luck happened to occur in their little bubble. I would not expect a local affiliate to cover a national or international story of that level. But what I wonder was what happened that was somehow bumped while we went to someone standing at the McNamara Terminal for no clear reason.
I understand that you believe it's a fools paradise to think that getting one segment on one station during one broadcast will make a difference. But I push this back to the news director that's too lazy to try to stretch this out: to grasp beyond those newscasts, to actual news websites (as opposed to yet another method to sell ad space) and trying to develop a method to build themselves. Else they're all going to have the same realization that the newspaper business has discovered: the only people that care are dying.
