CNN vs the Tabloids
By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, April 24, 2008.
Since we started Word of Mouth two months ago, we've received many topic suggestions from listeners, many of which became on-air segments. One listener has written several times, encouraging us to examine the headlines on CNN.com.
CNN's headlines have been the focus of some humor and chagrin in the blogosphere, and it seems like the network itself is getting into the game - you can now buy official CNN t-shirts printed with its own campy headlines. But kidding aside, if solid journalism from one of America's leading news sources is eroding, that can be a serious matter. Keene State media professor Mark Timney volunteered to perform an unscientific, one-week survey of CNN.com's coverage for us, and he joined Word of Mouth to tell us what he found.
