Questions were sent this morning - sorry. I figured we'd reached the limit
in any case.

A few questions (if it's not too late):
1. Contemporary television journalism relies on ever more
entertainment news, human interest stories, and often an explicit bias
to draw in viewers. Do you believe that the trends that have shaped
TV news presentation for the last couple of decades will continue, or
is there another change coming?
2. The last ten years have seen a meteoric rise in the popularity of
NPR news magazines. Some see NPR as a last bastion of quality
journalism; others see it as more of the same albeit with a liberal
bias. How would you explain NPR's popularity and what does it mean
for the future of radio news?
3. Young people heading for college this year will have lived with
Internet access most of their lives, and have had many more sources
for news and information than generations before them. The news media
has been trying to diversify its offerings as well -- TV and radio
news organizations have websites, and blogs, and podcasts. What do
you think will be (or has been) the impact of this diversification of
sources and modes of access to information?
4. The media has been shown to be very polarizing: people seek out a
news source they agree with and use the source to further reinforce
their world views. How can a news organization that strives to
maintain objectivity, or has a more centrist point of view, survive
given this polarization?

I've incorporated the below questions and sent a link to [[WN:YOURPHOTO]]
on
to the CBS contact to distribute among the
photographers who might have
something on Cronkite.
I need another 5-10 questions and the thing to bear in mind is the current
working title. Cronkite is 91(?) His start in journalism predates
computers
and I want to draw out his opinion on the contrast
between then and now.
So. Get the questions in!

Peres, now Cronkite? This just keeps getting better and better!
Do you believe that modern journalism is more "style over substance?"
Do you believe that the 1976 film Network has somewhat foreshadowed
modern
television journalism in someway?
What is your opinion on citizen journalism?
Do you think citizen journalists can report more truthfully then
professional journalists?
What do you think about "Memogate?"
What is your opinion on blogs?

We have landed a good one here. An email interview with Walter Cronkite. I
want the focus to be on his thoughts on modern journalism and not the
stuff
that is in his biography. Questions? Send me them, and
do so ASAP.
