Israeli TV opts for talking heads instead of continued coverage of PM
Netanyahu and DM Yaalon press conference
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 20 July 2014
Both Israel Television Channel 2 and Channel 10 opted to break away from the
middle of a press conference being held by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu
and Defense Minister Yaalon to return to the talking heads in their studios.
Neither stations, which both feature ongoing hours of talking heads covering
the situation, had anything particularly special to share with their
audiences to justify breaking away from a press conference that gave the
opportunity to hear the PM and DM reply at length and in depth to a series
of excellent questions from the reporters at the press conference.
Hopefully the PM's office will see fit to release the entire transcript of
the press conference and not just the opening remarks.
