Are Staff Cuts Hurting Weekend TV News?

One TV reporter thinks so. Matt Stevens, who blogs at Over 50 TV Talent, says that the Web scooped three local TV stations on a shooting at a frat house where 12 people were injured and one died.

Sixteen hours after the shootings, “sot one of them had any video of the chaotic scene– not even one shot before the sun was up. That means at least four hours went by and not one of the stations had sent a camera to the scene.

“What did they have on their websites? They had a few exteriors shot long after all the cops and witnesses were gone.
