Variety: MSNBC aims to bolster daytime news
UC Journalism expert Jeffrey Blevins weighs in on identifying programs as news or opinion
The current "MSNBC Live" show has been replaced with a new daytime news program calleed "MSNBC Reports."
Making sure viewers understand the nature of news programming is sorely needed in the current era, suggests Jeffrey Layne Blevins, a professor and head of the journalism department at University of Cincinnati.
“Opinion and commentary programming have become so popular. It’s what’s on in primetime, and people really do need the reminder,” Blevins says.
