Why do the kids in the WOWO news room think that a preview of Netflix June offerings is "local" news?
Answer: Millennial over-think logic: "I live in an apartment, I can't afford a $400,000 downtown condo since I work in the media, but I can afford $9.99/month! A great discovery, thus, it is news. Since my apartment is in Fort Wayne, it's local news!"
Why, if the Indy 500 was Sunday, and millions of people saw the Ruoff Mortgage car win the race, are local media only now, days later uncovering this fact? WANE TV on Tuesday, and the Journal Gazette on Wednesday.....
The answer to "why" works better as a multiple-guess question.
A) The media did not know that Ruoff was a local company or understand the connection until a cranky salesperson or manager started hollering.
B) The media, running bare-bones staff during the holiday didn't have anyone who could write an understandable news story.
C) The media held the story until more eyes and ears were available to read or see the story, since media does not think anyone watches or reads during a holiday.
Only the Shadow knows......

ReplyDelete"Millennial over-think logic...LOL.
Sounds like another version of "military intelligence" to me (too).
And you NAILED that Indy 500 story. I thought the same thing.
Maybe The Shadow could fill in during the holiday weekends (for these post-pubescent interns)?
Just a thought.
Stay safe out there.
