Tyndall Evolves

(Andrew Tyndall)
For almost 20 years, Andrew Tyndall has been writing a weekly report about what the network newscasts are covering. Now Tyndall has debuted a daily blog, and it's a nice resource for anyone who wants to keep up with the nightly newscasts.

Tyndall pays close attention to the shows, and he is thus able to pick up on some of what those less-obsessed might miss. For example, here's what he noticed about this year's Mardi Gras coverage:

"Last year on Mardi Gras, six months after Hurricane Katrina, all three network newscasts anchored from New Orleans," writes Tyndall. "CBS' Bob Schieffer signed off with beads around his neck. A year later, everyone stayed in New York (CBS was anchored by substitute Russ Mitchell). No network even sent a reporter--although CBS had Tracy Smith file from New Orleans yesterday--so they offered no more than videotape clips of the parades."

Tyndall also has a rundown of each day's stories, with video links when available.
