Omaha.com Packaging Stories About CWS

The Omaha World-Herald's online portal, Omaha.com, is now packaging stories, rather than just offering raw video of press conferences and local news events.

Omaha.com joins radio station KFAB (1110 AM) as a non-television entity jockeying for position among photojournalists from the four Omaha TV stations.

The OWH should stick to what they know... Oh wait, nevermind

For a story like fan fest, and since they aren't TV, they should have fun with the subject and do something you wouldn't do if this were to run on TV. If the on cam face is an intern, good for her, but if they are to continue with the video stuff, they need to try think outside of the box and give me something I can't get off of TV, at least to start. A lot of people, simmilar in age to the on camera face of this story, are tuning out of TV because they get news online. I would think that demo would find this story boring. Also, shooting wise it lacks. Give me something the newspaper can't give me, sights and sounds. And I mean close sights and sounds rather than far far away boring pans.

The World-Herald is too scared to get close. They might find out that no one is reading their paper.

Why they are embarrassing themselves is beyond me.

Because they are the World-Herald -- they don't realize the emperor has no clothes...and that they are the emperor.

OWH's sports coverage has been hideous for a long, long time, outside of Husker football (which is their one-trick pony). The sports editor there has to thank his lucky stars that the AP wire is available so he doesn't have to expose his staff's mind-numbing lack of talent to the paying public.

Gotta give them credit; at least they are trying something different.

Maybe if they tried hiring talented, competent reporters instead? Wouldn't THAT help improve the quality of their product? Or would that make too much sense?

Erin Hartigan can have my baby. She is sultry. Someone needs to hire her for a reporting gig on real TV.
