Bridge Collapse: CNN’s I-Report update…
CNN has approved 96 I-Reports, including three videos, for use across its multiple networks and services. More than 20 have been published online. CNN has featured live beepers with I-Reporters, notably Mark LaCroix.
CNN launched its I-Report initiative one year ago. To date, more than 45,000 I-Reports have been submitted to CNN.
Associated Press initially reported the collapse story at 7:32 p.m. CNN’s first report followed at 7:35 p.m. (ET), with the first I-Report – a submission from Mark LaCroix – airing at 7:45 p.m. by.
u-Report is a bad idea. People may cause tragedies just to get great photos & 15 Min. of fame. With private jets reporters can get to the scenes much fast themselves plus there are always local news reports.
