Lost Remote: Print journalist riled by user’s choice news bulletin

John Brummet, journalist with the Arkansas News, has rejected a new feature introduced by local broadcaster KATV, in which users/viewers choose one two-minute news item for the station’s six o’clock bulletin and website.

Brummet says the initiative lacks editorial experience and professionalism, but Lost Remote argues that KATV is experimenting with ‘new approaches to interactivity’.
