TV ALERT: Linda Ellerbee, since leaving the network news grind, has cut a good niche for herself explaining the news to kids on Nickelodeon. Now, she's explaining the news networks to adults in a documentary which debuts on Trio tonight at 9pm and 12am ET (repeat Thursday at the same times).
It'd be worth a watch just as that, but this quote from the AP article sold me:
"Many of us thought the global would become local with the advent of 24-hour news," Ellerbee said. "Instead, it's the other way around. So that Laci Peterson, which is a tragic story to her family but a local story, becomes a tragic national story."
Yep, Ellerbee plays the "news/not-news" game. I TOLD you it was spreading!
