Cynopsis says ... In an email to employees, ABC News President David Westin announced there would be a series of financial considerations made in light of the ailing economy, while keeping an eye toward having all available resources to report the news.
Writes Westin: "We report every day on the economic climate and the effects being felt throughout the country. We are not immune from the downturn. At the same time, the importance of the election and economic stories reminds us how much we have to do to help our audiences absorb and understand what is going on around them. What we need to do -- and will do -- is to make sure that we have all the resources we need to cover the news." Among the reduced administrative guidelines are cutting back on attendance at conferences and conventions, elimination of all holiday parties, cancelling all paper subscriptions to magazines and newspapers (suggesting online use instead), as well as asking high level execs to fly in cheaper seats, and stay at cheaper hotels. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
