Managers persist in the sad error of trying to emulate the very worst examples of broadcast journalism - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso CNN

Good journalists at CNN are routinely undermined by misguided, ratings-obsessed managers who change their ideology as often as their underwear. Unable to provide true leadership, they are startlingly successful in at least one endeavour: casting off or driving away their best people as they sacrifice journalism in the pursuit of popularity. Lacking any real grasp of what once made CNN great - they persist in the sad error of trying to emulate the very worst examples of broadcast journalism .. in some cases firing their own and hiring an abject alternative from the competition. They then watch in bewilderment as staff morale swirls down the toilet, and a new manager, hot from Fox, steers staff morale into a tailspin and singlehandedly sets the quality of programming back twenty years. This kind of blind desperation explains why CNN is casting about like a lost man in a storm. Once CNN didn't even acknowledge the competition. It didn't have to because it didn't exist. The network was once in a league of its own. Sadly, no more.
