...containers for news would slowly fade away. In fact, the opposite is the case. Not a week goes by when we're not all commemorating the 20th anniversary of this or the 35th anniversary of that. It's as though we can't think of things to write or broadcast about unless it's some kind of jubilee...
...Japanese competitors aren't giving up. Sony unveiled XPRI in April, primarily for high-definition professional editing. Matsushita has focused its efforts on lower-end broadcast news. "Sony and Panasonic are like ocean liners. They turn, but they turn slowly," says Joseph Bentivegna, an Avid vice president. "By staying nimble, we've been able to keep ahead." For example, when actor Oliver Reed died during the filming of Gladiator, director Ridley Scott didn't panic. His team recycled shots of the slave trainer and, with the help of Avid software, produced two scenes starring Reed...
...execution debate over who would get to watch McVeigh's end and how - eventually, a closed-circuit broadcast to victims' families was approved - revived that perennial chestnut: Is America ready for a live public execution? A provocative question, and a nearly superfluous one. What we will see Monday morning will be a live public execution in all but the most literal sense. Some 1,600 journalists will be in Terre Haute, their tape recorders and cameras trained on the expected throng of demonstrators. Jane Clayson will be there; Katie Couric and Charles Gibson will be in Oklahoma City, along with...
...will be a public execution with a familiar postmodern twist: we will be watching not the execution but the watching of the execution. (Unless someone bootlegs video of the closed-circuit broadcast, which the networks say they will not air - unless, of course, someone else does, in which case it will instantly become news.) But this kind of metaspectacle can be powerful. The last official public execution, in 1936, became the last of its kind precisely because of media attention, not to the hanging itself - of a 22-year-old black man convicted of rape and murder in Owensboro...
...Bono developed an increased interest in political activism in 1985 when he performed in the high-profile "Live Aid" concert that raised about $200 million. The 16-hour music marathon, performed simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, was broadcast to more than 60 countries, and featured many of the top musicians of the day, with performances by Bob Dylan, Duran Duran, Phil Collins and reunions of both The Who and Led Zeppelin...
