UNLV Sports Innovation Institute on LinkedIn: Our friends at UNLV Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies… (2024)

As a journalist, I know mistakes happen in newsrooms. I am loathe to "pile on" when someone messes up. SO, this is a tough one. Still, I am wracking my brain to understand. I have worked as a TV news producer and an TV news executive producer, so here are my questions for KMOV-TV:- How does this word even make it into a newsroom, let alone occur to anyone to write into a script? - Did the anchor read his scripts before the show? Most anchors I know are conscientious and do this without fail. However, it is not uncommon for some to skip this step. - If the anchor did read this script, did he not recognize the problem? Scripts can change at the last minute, so he may not have known what was coming until he was reading the teleprompter.- Who is the producer who wrote this tease? A producer is the most likely author, based on newsroom task assignments. Have they been fired?- Who was the manager on this shift and did they review scripts for the newscast aired? What is their take on what happened?The statement from the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) mentions multiple on-air apologies, but I cannot find them on KMOV's social media. This is vital, as not everyone will see every newscast. (If anyone spots something, please post in the comments).And, what is the KMOV-TV plan moving forward?

Ladies and gentlemen, the power of sports rendered in high fidelity by Michael Graff of the Baltimore Banner: "You get love and then you give it away." Most people assume sports matter because of the people on the field. The truth is that sports matter so much to so many because of the people in the stands.Those of us in the industry must recognize this key insight. Sports are the business of belonging; it's the social connection that creates the value, it's the relationships that drive the business forward. https://lnkd.in/gDw_CSbq

NEW from me: Black news consumers think local reporters do a better job of covering Black communities than the national media, according to a recent study from the nonpartisan Pew Research Center.
