Frontline News War (and a Quick Rant on Local News Web Sites)

First off, the PBS web site rules. It amazes me to look at our local TV station’s web sites and compare them to the PBS site. I mean, local news stations have ad revenue to keep them going, but for some reason they all end up looking like a high school kid’s computer class project. A perfect example is the always changing, always annoying and often unusable 9 News web site. What the hell happened there guys?

Where was I…oh yeah, the PBS site rules. Not only is it a joy to look at but they actually provide full length shows for people to watch on the site – for free. And that makes me very happy, because one of my favorite shows on TV is Frontline. Recently Frontline had an amazing episode in their News War series called “What’s Happening to News.” If you want to see an well done program that talks about how the Internet has affected the news and how the newspaper industry is falling apart, watch this program (click on the "Part Three" tab).
