Abstract:
|
Despite the widespread conception of MTV as mindless drivel for a slack generation, an examination of MTV’s news programming reveals a network thoughtfully balancing established news magazine conventions with experimental features in order to attract a youthful demographic. Inspecting a sample of MTV’s programming against the backdrop of the more traditional 60 Minutes enables a consideration of which old-guard practices might be due for retirement and which alternative attributes might enhance the appeal of news magazines. Among the traits discussed are reporter roles, camera shots, and sound tracks. The differences between 60 Minutes and MTV’s programs point to a generation’s willingness to obscure the line between information and entertainment and desire to decide issues of culpability for themselves. |

| MTV News: Glimpsing the Future of News Magazines When 60 Minutes premiered in 1968 its reliance on narrative structure and willingness to experiment with visuals and reporter roles represented a departure from traditional news formats. Since then the ever-popular program has been joined by such tweaked copycats as Dateline 48 Hours and 20/20. Today’s widespread recognition of news magazines as a credible source of journalism indicates that this once novel format of news has itself become tradition. Where then |
