NBC???: Maybe We Can Send 25 People To A Story Instead Of 30 –Capus

Read this morning’s NYT story:

  As an example of how the company’s strategy might change, Mr. Capus compared how it would have typically approached a school shooting, as opposed to how it might in the near future. In the past, Nightly News, Today and Dateline, all programs on NBC, might have sent individual correspondents and camera crews to the scene, along with representatives of MSNBC, MSNBC.com, NBC News Channel (which provides wire-service-style video feeds to affiliates) and several NBC stations themselves.

‘I’m not saying that now every story will get just one person who is going to meet the needs of every entity,’ he said. ‘That’s not the point. But maybe, instead of 30 people, we can send 25. I believe we can do that, and viewers will have no idea that behind the scenes, those are the conversations going on.’
