Weekend Edition: Think You Can Run CNN?
Blog The Mighty Middle has an extremely funny quiz to see if you have what it takes to be a tv news executive. For instance:
1) It’s twenty minutes till air time of your 8:00 pm show. For a week you’ve been running promos for an in-depth examination of the genocide in Darfur. But you’ve just received fourteen seconds of videotape showing Russell Crowe throwing a telephone at that concierge. You:
a) Stick with the Darfur special: it’s news, dammit!
b) Lead with the Russell Crowe footage and cut the Darfur special to 12 minutes.
c) Wall to wall Russell Crowe.
The entire post is pretty entertaining. Check it out!
