Further blurring the line between television and the Internet, Time Warner Inc.’s CNNMoney.com plans a major push into online video starting Tuesday, with an array of original business and financial news clips posted daily.
Executives and editors are betting the site’s new look and a dedicated video team will better serve users, attract lucrative online ads and even take on financial TV networks such as CNBC and the new Fox Business Network.
Caleb Silver, executive producer for video at CNNMoney.com, discusses a story from the Nasdaq Market Site reported by anchor Poppy Harlow. The site plans to move beyond producing one or two original video pieces per day to 15, or even more.
“The future of business television is online,” CNNMoney.com Editor Chris Peacock said. He said his site will soon go from producing one or two original videos each day to 15 or more.
“The audience for business and finance information migrated online very quickly,” Peacock said. “They’re at their desks. They’re an at-work audience. We have a footprint to reach more people through our distribution than I think the classic cable networks can.”
Regarding finical reporting,
CNBC’s Mr. Harwood strikes again
John Harwood this morning supposedly gave a prepared news report on why the democrats and why the republicans have not introduced a stimulus package to head off a possible recession. Mr. Harwood pontificated on the reasons why for each party without citing one single source or any evidence for his report. It’s as if he makes it up as he goes along. What are we suppose to believe that because John Harwood says Republicans believe this or that we are suppose to take it as fact. Wouldn’t a good reporter take a survey of party leaders on both sides and the report the findings with some citing of sources? I for one am sick and tired of listening to this inside the beltway left leaning pundit “masquerading as a journalist” giving his personal opinions almost every day on CNBC. Calling John Harwood part of the Drive BY Reporters” would be giving him too much credit. Looks like he will fit in perfectly with the pseudo reporters at the NYT.
