Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:34pm on Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | Writing in the August 2009 issue of Vanity Fair ("Politico’s Washington Coup"), Michael Wolff succinctly summarizes the recent history of the news cycle:
"CNN changed the nature of politics and political reporting by compressing the time it took for something to happen, for it to become widely known, and for newsmakers and the public to react to it (i.e., the news cycle) to half a day—whereas the newspaper news cycle, from next-day publication to day-after reaction, was 48 hours, and network television’s news cycle, from one day’s evening news to the next day’s evening news, was 24 hours. Politico brings the news cycle down to about 15 or 20 minutes."

Eric Kallgren Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 10:56pm on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | In a rare moment of candor and introspection, Anderson Cooper described himself as stupid, TVNewser reported on May 19, 2009:
"CNN's Anderson Cooper spoke at UCLA Sunday as part of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture Series, and was asked about his "teabagging" comment last month during the Q&A portion.
Calling it a "stupid, silly, one-line aside," he touched on the attention it received. "I think it's an incorrect statement to say I was, in any way, trying to disparage legitimate protests," said Cooper. "I don't think it's my job to disparage, or encourage, which oddly other networks seemed to be doing. Protest is the great right of all Americans, and it's not my job in any way to make fun of people or disparage what they're doing."

Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 2:38pm on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 | Ratings for Anderson Cooper's CNN "news" show are diving. Or to put it mathematically, as the Los Angeles Times did on May 11, 2009, "Viewers are doing a 180 on Anderson Cooper's '360'":
"Kay Jones, a producer on CNN's Anderson Cooper's "AC360," recently blogged on the show's website that she "deserve[s] the month of May off." Well, she might as well take it because Cooper's fan base is doing just that already.
Cooper's ratings have been in a sharp decline all year, and so far the month of May is no exception."

Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 5:26pm on Saturday, May 9th, 2009 | Former CNN news anchor Daryn Kagan is launching "Good News with Daryn Kagan," a syndicated news service featuring "inspiring" news reporting from Kagan, a CNN news anchor from 1994 to 2006.
Distributed by Sewee Entertainment, the news service is available to television stations for use in their newscasts and web sites, and consists of five weekly "ready to air" one-to-two-minute video news reports. Since leaving CNN, Kagan has devoted her time to reporting only happy news.
Unrelated but interestingly, Kagan dated radio windbag Rush Limbaugh for several years, until early 2006.
