morningsun.gifGood morning Washington.

  • Third party in ’08? You think it is not going to happen.

  • An ABC release announced, “For the seventh consecutive week, ABC’s ‘World News with Charles Gibson’ was the #1 evening newscast among Total Viewers, Households and Adults 25-54. Averaging 7.71 million Total Viewers and a 1.9/8 among Adults 25-54, ‘World News’ outperformed NBC by 280,000 Total Viewers and 80,000 key demo viewers. With last week’s win, ‘World News’ has now finished first among Total Viewers fourteen times in the last eighteen weeks and has placed first among Adults 25-54 thirteen times in the same period. This also marks ABC’s eighteenth win this season among key demo viewers.”

  • Deets from David Halberstam’s funeral service.

  • “James Carville call your agent”

  • A RCN release announced that the company won Stevie Awards for the categories of Best Turn Around Business and Best Communication Organization in The 2007 American Business Awards.

  • Slate is introducing an online video magazine. “In late June, Slate will launch Slate V, a new video-only site. Each weekday, Slate V will publish fresh video that brings the Slate sensibility to the news, politics, arts, culture, technology, business, and more.”

  • It’s your turn freelancers: “30 freelancers sound off on rules they’d wish their editors would follow”

  • From DCRTV:

      Shales Mixes Up Scarboroughs – 6/13 – In the above Tom Shales DC Post piece on Dan Rather, Shales writes: “Rather said that he never planned an attack on the ‘Evening News’ or on Couric, but that he was asked about it by Chuck Scarborough, who has replaced the deposed Don Imus on morning radio and MSNBC-TV. ‘He asked me directly what I thought,’ Rather said. ‘It is my wont to answer a question directly. It was not planned.’” Ah, wasn’t he asked the question by Joe Scarborough, the MSNBC talker and former Congressman from Florida, and not Chuck Scarborough, the longtime NYC anchorman at WNBC-TV in NYC? Hmmm…..

  • From the Washington Post: “Religion Finds a Home On TV, Then Adds On”

  • Politico reports, “Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have both ‘personally assured’ Tim Russert that they will appear on ‘Meet the Press’ as part of the show’s meet the candidate series, according to ‘Meet’ executive producer Betsy Fischer.”

    morningsun.gifGood morning Washington.

  • An NBC release announced that “Meet the Press with Tim Russert” “topped the Sunday morning competition across the country and in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, April 22.” Nationally, “Meet the Press” attracted 3.127 million total viewers, 11% more than CBS “Face the Nation,” a 21% lead over ABC “This Week” and a 148% advantage over FOX “News Sunday”.

  • The American Chemical Society is looking for a Associate/Senior Editor and a Senior Associate Copy Editor for the Scientific Journal.

  • “Imus producer criticizes Rev. Sharpton”

  • “Groups Weigh In On FCC Violence Report”

  • “Comcast Joins The Party”

  • C-SPAN is looking for a coordinator in their media relations department.

  • Media Matter finds out some Confederate sympathy at the Washington Times.

  • “Good News for People Who Love Bad News”

  • Congressional Quarterly is looking for a Legislative Researcher.

  • FCW Government Technology Group is looking for a Staff Writer.

  • The News and Advance is looking for a Page Designer/Copy Editor.

  • Inside Washington Publishers is looking for print and online reporters.

  • WAMU 88.5FM is looking for a Producer/Assignment Editor.

  • UC Berkeley’s Journalism school has posted a transcript and audio of David Halberstam’s speech on Saturday, two days before he died.

  • “To celebrate its 11th anniversary, FOX News Sunday (FNS) will debut a new ongoing series, ‘Choosing the President,’ on April 29th. It will consist of in-depth interviews with presidential candidates conducted by FNS moderator Chris Wallace, and will provide an opportunity for candidates to discuss and debate their platforms as they formally announce their candidacy. The premiere segment kicks off this Sunday with an in-depth interview with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and his wife Cindy McCain. This will be McCain’s first Sunday show interview since announcing his candidacy on Wednesday.”

  • PBS’s Bill Moyers reports, “Four years ago this spring the Bush administration took leave of reality and plunged our country into a war so poorly planned it soon turned into a disaster. The story of how high officials misled the country has been told. But they couldn’t have done it on their own; they needed a compliant press, to pass on their propaganda as news and cheer them on. … Yet the story of how the media bought what the White House was selling has not been told in depth on television. As the war rages into its fifth year, we look back at those months leading up to the invasion, when our press largely surrendered its independence and skepticism to join with our government in marching to war.”
