There is life after magazines! It has always seemed obvious to us that newspaper and magazine writers and editors are a perfect fit for television as editors/producers and writers. Television news, for example, runs almost entirely from the news snatched almost entirely from the papers. How many entertainment news magazines rely almost entirely on Page Six? How many evening news broadcasts rely on The New York Times, which sets the agenda. And how many local news broadcasts rely on their local tabloids headlines for their lead stories? The layoffs from the ad recessions only highlight the need for television to open doors when newspapers and magazines close. From TVNewser:
"Insiders tell TVNewser that NBC News senior VP Mark Whitaker will be named chief of the network's Washington bureau perhaps as early as today.
"The bureau chief position has been vacant since the death of Tim Russert June 13. Whitaker joined NBC News in May of 2007 from WashingtonPost-Newsweek Interactive, the digital division of the Washington Post Company where he was VP and editor-in-chief of new ventures. Before that, he was editor of Newsweek."
