Los Angeles Tv News
Faint praise - L.A. Stories - Project for Excellence in Journalism reports KCBS-TV to be best news in Los Angeles - Brief ArticleTravis Purser A report just out from the Project for Excellence in Journalism found that KCBS-TV (Channel 2) news is the best in Los Angeles.
So far so good. But the best 11 p.m. newscast in the second largest media market in the nation ranked a lowly 43rd among 53 stations in 17 cities, according to the report, called 'The Road to Irrelevance."
The study ranked and graded newscasts during a two-week period and compiled confidential surveys from 103 news directors. Local news professionals developed criteria for the surveys of what a local news station should provide for its community.
The study ranked KABC No. 2 in the market and KNBC No. 3. None of the three stations earned better than a "D" grade for enterprise reporting. All three stations earned an overall grade of "C."
"It could be that in some markets there's just a culture that favors good journalism," said Atiba Pertilla, a research associate with the Project for Excellence.
