Ipad's on the News?

[chloesdude]

Maybe I am going crazy! I switch through channels and WOWK 13 News' Sandra Cole had no hard copy of script on paper. Only a laptop and I believe an Ipad!!! What the heck?

It's probably a way for 13 to think they're cool. They are seemingly making small changes, such as changing their split-screen from 2D gfx to 3D gfx. They're desperate for ratings.

less paper...might save money? But what happens if the I Pad dies?

But what happens if the I Pad dies?

Like on "The Flintstones": you bring out the juggler and tell him he has twenty minutes to fill...

There is a Teleprompter app.

F-A-N-C-Y!!!!! should we give 13 a sticker?

[The Interpreter]

I'm sorry. I really am.

I can never look at that woman without thinking of Morticia....and....another person who used to work with her who is best but not easily forgotten....

ABC news with Diane Sawyer is a good place to spot iPads.... She has one to her right using the cool element Case Joule (120.00) .... It is an amazing device and i can see why a broadcaster would want to have one to use. Once you have an iPad you wonder how you lived without it. It is not so much about being cool, but about using the best tool to get you through life.

Reporters are using them as well...

I noticed this the other night on WBOY. Albert Zipp seemed to be having trouble with the scripts.

Lots of stations are doing this now. Not only save $$$ on printers and paper, but scripts are automatically updated with changing stories. Not sure what happens if the batteries run out. LOL!

only thing is hoping your talent is competent enough to actually use the thing.....
