It was a scene that I had watched play out a dozen times last year marked by panicked expressions, frustration and even a couple of tears. All of it was in response to a simple question: What is your local newsroom prepared to stop doing?
I was surprised how invariably this was the point where progress in meetings about evolving the local news brand and product ground to a halt. There is a strange hoarding mentality in many TV stations; they can only add to the list of things they do, while nothing ever drops off. This has become a burden that is increasingly difficult to bear.
