I found this interesting article not too long ago about the obsession Philadelphia has with its newscasters.
Michael Schaffer, a former Inqy staff writer, says that local newscasters act as local celebrities, since many towns don’t have celebrities of their own.
It was a fun read until Page 3, where he gets into the future of local television news. Of course, we all know the situation. But it doesn’t make me feel any better when I keep reading it.
