News Process?
Isn't the goal to get something on the air quick? So somebody hears something on the scanner and tells an intern to write it up for the next newscast. They don't have any details. There generally isn't any follow up, and the story lasts for one or two cycles and is done. And it's a weekend. The remote truck is at the beach telling you it's hot out. A day later, we're trying to analyze the details here? The press doesn't publish "Extras" any more , and you can't "Read all about it." Pretty high expectations I think.
