Erin Burnett, reviewing scripts in the studio during rehearsals for the upcoming Erin Burnett OutFront, which debuts October 3rd at 7 p.m.
Reading tonight that the Navy Blue Angels are using a mix of biofuel reminded me (as if I could ever forget) of my one outrageous experience flying with the Air Force Thunderbirds.
(2 Thunderbirds F-16s used the sustainable fuel at an air show in May. If it still produces a skull-shaking 9Gs, I’m all for it.)
Really happy to share the first look at our new CNN show, OutFront with Erin Burnett. The show launches this Fall, and the entire show team’s really excited about it.
I’m honored, humbled, and absolutely delighted to announce that Monday I’ll be joining CNN as digital producer for the upcoming Erin Burnett show.
There are few news organizations in the world as committed to digital and social media as CNN, and joining the team developing this new show is a tremendous challenge and huge thrill for me. I hope you’ll stick around—it’s going to be great.
And naturally, I want your help. If you’ve got ideas on how to make CNN’s new 7 p.m. hour must-see-TV, email me, tweet me or hit me up on Facebook. I’ll keep you posted on what we’re doing as soon as I find my desk at CNN on Monday!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
-Teddy Roosevelt
The final words read tonight by Eliot Spitzer as he signed off from CNN’s In the Arena
CNN’s Anderson Cooper is making great use of YouTube to answer viewer questions about his upcoming syndicated daytime show Anderson. In this one, he talks about taking naps—and news as, well, not exactly the toughest job in the world, all things considered.
On-air hashtags are hot, and they work. According to Twitter:
#CNNTV garnered over 15,000 Tweets and became a Trending Topic by consistently showing the hashtag on-air in the lead-up to Kate’s arrival. But it was the arrival of Prince William and Prince Harry at Westminster Abbey that sent CNN’s hashtag, #CNNTV through the roof with 252 Tweets per minute.
Cold busted. And with a sense of humor. Brilliant.
