Since news has warped into something very different from the days when I first go into it, I will now NOT cover it the same way in which the majority do - group think has taken over. As you go to many sites and watch TV news (read the paper), the stories are all the same, 24/7. I will explain why and how that happens. And focus on covering them, from TV news, radio, newspapers, to Hollywood. Yes, it has affected attendance, readership and viewership for these institutions. The business models are changing and we will report on them. Much of news is now gossip and sleaze-laced items not fit for front pages. News should not be pundits and opinion hosts spewing 24/7, either. The ticker to the right will have the latest breaking news item.

Peter Strzok ..escorted out of the FBI on Friday (???). Here is a media example of a diversion. With all the leaks coming out, this one did not. Hmmm. Yet, the border story grew and grew over the weekend and exploded the last two days. Monday and Tuesday the hearings about the IG report happened. Hence, the diversion. Media focused on the border stories and ignored the IG hearings.

It really feels like there are fake leaks being given to media and then watching how that plays out. No way would anyone would utter certain phrases that are leaked. |

I contend that there is too much product on TV now - and too many movies being released. We have no time to digest and enjoy. I like to schedule and watch TV when it is on - not at all hours and anytime. I like watching something that is on and millions are watching it at the same time, yet, they are not in my living room. An event, and something to discuss later - - not on You Tube, Netflix and the like. Too much product has hurt the overall quality and made stars out of people who have no business being in the business...@Timobns

ABC's 'Roseanne' Spinoff https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/abcs-roseanne-spinoff-hinges-barr-relinquishing-fee-1120723 …The spinoff idea feels as if it was already in the bag. Sara Gilbert, already on "The View" defending the reboot and quickly trashes Roseanne when things went south. It would be her spinoff, with her family, so that part makes sense. So, they could separate it as much as possible.But still, the curiousity factor will be there in the first couple shows, then it will fall flat.

on ratings- Note, most people who discuss ratings, do it wrong. Or they follow what everyone else reports on them, without knowing the inside game. Please remember that cable and broadcast networks are very different. When one is a high-rated show on cable, it would be a disaster on the broadcast networks. The broadcast nets are ABC, CBS, Fox (not the news channel), NBC, and the CW. Netflix and the like are not close to them, either. Yes, a demo win is good for advertisers, but that is not that big a factor for the average viewer. The overall number is the key. A show can stay on the air while being demo strong, but having a demo win of 1 million and total of 3 million while your competitor's show has 10 million overall, it means your show got beat badly, overall. Meanwhile, when the broadcast networks tout a show that wins the night with 3 million, they are just grasping. A show with 1-9 million on the broadcast networks is not good. This is for prime time viewership. But, notice how those numbers are considered good now. Why? Because, they will say, there are so many more ways to watch, so the audience is split, fragmented. No, that does not matter. But, if ad money is there, so be it. The real divide for me is from the other platforms in which we pay for, like Netflix. I am not paying for 10 platforms to watch one show on each. That could end up to be hundreds of dollars.

TONYS UPDATE: A show that awards acting in theater on Broadway is now a low-rated show. It does not even grab 10 million in ratings It is an award show that is a special event and they SHOULD garner more interest and ratings. But, the politics over the years have soured those who only glanced at them over the years. The die-hard fans are there and that does not help move the popularity of it grow. No need to hash out the other reasons. Ratings here. Tonys had 6.3 million. OUCH! That is why there were no headlines about the show after it for long. It went away fast, even with De Niro spouting nonsense.

I worked in media for 30 years...never let us define you - - now, I report of how they cover them and keep my entertainment beat...on my own is the way to go...I cover more of the business side of TV and movies. When requested to do more gossip and personality features on show business folk for newspaper editors, I balked and resisted. That was never what I cared about when it came to show business. The award season circuit is actually the business of show. It looks like they are handing out awards all the time, but that is the business and marketing of show. Not all award shows are covered anymore because they, too, have lost sight of themselves and got too cocky and political. Also, I am more about content than photos and video. That just seem too lazy for me. Anyone can do that, but content in king. CLICK ON FORUM ABOVE AND THEN CLICK ON REAL TIME REPORTS FOR LIVE COVERAGE/AND FOR PAST EVENT COVERAGE - @Timobns
Please note, that one no longer needs to be a member of a media organization to have access to the same info they get. Take a look at when a story drops. Oftentimes, the story that gets published is the same one, time and time again. And many times, it has no byline. It is a shared rumor, non-sourced story, too. Trump goes directly to Twitter when he gets info out. That means, straight to the public, with no media in the way. One can go to countless non-media websites to get info, too. The White House has a site. You can also call to get the info yourself and set up a source pool on your own. You do not have to wait for media to tell you the news anymore. Going to a courthouse and covering a trial is not exclusive to media. And if you know how a press pool works, then you will realize those media members are often not present when breaking news drops. One or two people in the pool give the info to the others (hence, pool). The public can do this as well. And they are.
