“Wolf Blitzer will convene teams of top CNN correspondents and experts on the news of the moment in The Situation Room” between 3 and 6pm ET beginning this summer, CNN announced today. The press release is a must-read.
“We are very excited about our new program The Situation Room, which will be modeled in spirit after the White House Situation Room,” Jon Klein wrote in an e-mail to staffers this morning. “Wolf Blitzer will convene teams of our top correspondents and experts to offer a range of up-to-the-second reporting on issues from homeland security, politics and national and world affairs. The Situation Room studio itself will facilitate a blend of traditional newsgathering with the latest information from online sources.”
The first hour will focus on political news; The second hour will be devoted more to security issues and our Security Watch reports; and third hour will encompass world and national news.
“David Bohrman, Sam Feist and I expect that this unique showcasing of CNN’s reportorial talent and expert insight should make The Situation Room a one-stop-shop for viewers interested in monitoring the most significant events of any given day,” Klein’s e-mail said.
