Katrina: TV News Troops Are "Facing A Couple Of Real Tough Days"
The Hollywood Reporter sums up the efforts of television networks to cover the aftermath:
> NBC VP > CBS correspondent Mark Strassman: "The only way we have of communicating with anybody is satellite phones. Cells don't work, BlackBerrys don't work." > WNT EP Jon Banner: "We have a lot of real estate to cover and very little technology that will work. We've struggled to get a good way to transmit pictures from New Orleans. It's getting supplies for our troops, it's trying to get [to] these places that are blocked off by law enforcement and nature. It's a struggle." Email This Post |
