CNN Plans High-Tech News Show

"Unbundling" the news. Television is beginning to unbundle its videos of events from the cumbersome frame of the television newsroom. While CNN is going to stick Wolf Blitzer in a "situation room" and let him play off of analysis bloggers are doing of MSM news, go to video of breaking news -- will it come from eager phonecam citizen reporters -- and preside over a three-ring circus of news analysts, commentators, and such, other networks are putting their video online. What is the economic model going to be? That seems like the question that is going to determine who succeeds and who fails. CNN Plans High-Tech News Show : "CNN is one of a number of traditional news organizations incorporating video and Web capabilities into their broadcasts. CBS News recently unveiled its free broadband video service on its website and also announced plans to develop a video-on-demand digital network. ABC has its own subscription digital cable channel, which includes a live channel and video on demand."
