R. Neal on the news media’s reaction to Barack Obama changing the venue of his “big speech”:

After months of planning and spending millions in preparation for their convention coverage, the national news media says not so fast.

When the news was first announced, early reports said that the networks considered not covering the speech at all, due to the logistics of setting up in two locations.

They have toned that down a little today, saying the last minute change makes coverage “enormously more expensive” but that they are looking at ways to reallocate resources.
