Reporter re-deployment… Inside cable news While people have been clogging highways trying to get away from the shoreline, the reporters and anchors have been trying to get in or move to higher ground. First Miles O’Brien pulled out of New Orleans because his satellite truck might have wound up under water. Now Steve Harrigan was just on FOX News saying he had to move because his hotel might have wound up under water… UPDATE: With O’Brien pulling out of the French Quarter for higher ground, it appears that FOX’s Shepard Smith is the only network anchor left broadcasting from that area… From the nitpicking dept… I just saw a late night promo for FOX’s coverage and the voice over got Carol Iovanna’s name wrong. It’s pronounced “Eye-o-vanna”. The voice over said “E-o-vanna”… UPDATE: Pronounciation trouble isn’t happening only on FOX. Larry King was caught pronouncing New Orleans, “New Orlin-e-as”… UPDATE 2: One of ICN’s commentors wonders why Chris Mathews is covering The Hurricane for? I too would like to know the thinking behind putting a political wonk on a natural disaster story. King I can understand because it’s his hour on the air which is usually canned. None of MSNBC’s front line anchors have appeared today so far except Alison Stewart who was subbing for the vacationing Alex Witt. I expect that will change at 11 pm as the hurricane gets closer…. UPDATE to UPDATE 2: I should have added that none of CNN’s front line anchors have appeared today either in either Atlanta or New York. The shifts have been covered by usual people. FOX did end up bringing Hemmer in to anchor after the FOX Report was over but other than that it too used the usual weekend people. CNN looks at New Orleans in depth… CNN just aired an excellent package by John Zarrella on what the Hurricane could do to New Orleans. It went into stark details of what a flooding that’s being projected will do to the city and what it will take to put the city back together again… In the storms aftermath, water will sit in the city for an estimated six months. The pumps needed to get the water out would themselves be under water… insidecable.blogsome.com
