David Hurlburt from WMUR visit confirmed

David Hurlburt, WMUR Executive Producer, coordinates the crossover between on air coverage and coverage on the web. He'll visit our April 16 class to discuss how web publishing is impacting how broadcasters do their jobs and the changes broadcast newsrooms have made to their workflow.

A relatively new, WMUR afternoon web-only broadcast just came to my attention yesterday. Click here to check it out. It's very good.

Here's what David has to say about it:

"The web reports kind of just happen now that we've been doing them for a while.
The show producer from the noon breaks down the stories that were in our noon newscast... we look through it quick, then tape it right after the noon and link it up.

"We do the same with weather 3 times a day... new updates go on right after Daybreak, After noon and after 6pm.

"We also will update weather more frequently if something serious is going on. We also do web update whips on breaking news if it's significant and offer that on the web as well."
