WBA NewsroomSome very sharp words of criticism here from a Voice of America reporter based in Washington, DC, about how TV news departments are “reporting” on the Powerball lottery frenzy. Here’s one choice quote: “Much of what is seen and heard on local radio and TV comes from the minds of 20- and 30-somethings who are repeating what they heard on local stations when they were growing up. So it is, by definition, derivative, not to mention cliché, cringe-inducing, unoriginal, off-putting and unfunny.”
