    Los Angeles Times: Departures of Ann Martin and Harold Green may signal a shift Page 1 of 2 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-et-anchor11apr11,0,5163862.story From the Los Angeles Times Departures of Ann Martin and Harold Green may signal a shift Local newscasts seem to be turning away from high-priced anchors By Greg Braxton Los Angeles Times Staff Writer April 11, 2008 Like the Hollywood sign and the Cinerama Dome, KCBS-TV Channel 2 news anchors Ann Martin and Harold Greene were fixtures of Hollywood, hard to miss on huge billboards plastered on the station's former headquarters as they smiled down on travelers zooming along Sunset Boulevard. Mainstays on the local news for more than three decades at two stations -- the pair had also been partners at KABC-TV Channel 7's "Eyewitness News" -- Martin and Greene were reflective of the celebrity status bestowed upon anchors, the most visible and highest-paid members of Los Angeles news operations. Even their moves to rival KCBS -- Martin in 1994, Greene in 2001 -- created their own buzz, particularly for Martin, whose salary was reported to be between $1.2 million and $2 million a year. But last week the longtime newscasters themselves became an L.A. story once again. The couple was let go by KCBS, part of a swarm of budget cuts at CBS affiliates nationwide. Their unexpected ouster crystallized a growing suspicion within the local news market -- that in a world of 24/7 cable news and intensifying competition from the Internet, local big- name anchors may no longer be necessary or even relevant.

    TRANSCRIPT: ALL THINGS CONSIDERED October 2, 2002 JACKI LYDEN, host: From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Iʼm Jacki Lyden. ROBERT SIEGEL, host: And Iʼm Robert Siegel. Before television and photography, the great battles of history were documented with paint on can- vas. Los Angeles artist Sandow Birk has revived that tradition, depicting one of the most profound conflicts in California history: the rivalry between San Francisco and Los Angeles. NPRʼs Ina Jaffe reports that in Birkʼs version, the rivalry is imagined as a shooting war. INA JAFFE reporting: History painting was long regarded as “the depiction of the great deeds of great men worthy of mem- ory,” to quote one Renaissance critic. Sandow Birkʼs history paintings, on the other hand, show an unlikely bunch of accidental warriors willing to do or die in the battle between Fog Town and Smog Town struggling for total California domination, or at least bragging rights. Mr. SANDOW BIRK (Artist): History paintings were never really accurate in any way, that they were always tainted with a sort of a propagandistic desired to show one side or another or to put certain people in more heroic light. And so if there is a role for history painting today, itʼs spoofing the giant romantic battle paintings of the past. JAFFE: Thereʼs a jumble of past and present in Birkʼs California war paintings. Generals are seen sometimes on horseback and sometimes on Harleys, naval battles are waged by ships from every century and soldiers attack waving swords, rifles and banners saying, `Ask me about free checking.ʼ No California cliche goes unexploited.

He set off to meet the voters. But the aim in Waldie's walk was not quite that, as he strode up the concrete highways and country roads of California, through shopping centers, college cam- puses and farm clusters, into cities and suburbs, hand out to greet each person encountered, the pleasant grin - Tarm and personal, "My name is Waldie. I hope you'll vote for me for governor," with a little coterie of volunteers flocking behind to thrust a pamphlet at each passerby and gather nam'. This turned out to be the most extensive encounter between candidate and voter of the entire 1974 campaign. For the human satisfaction that came from meeting directly so many People Waldie later said it was worth the whole arduous, plodding, interminable ordeal. "I love this. I don't mean to be effusive, but I really do like the experience. In all my years of politics, I've done what politicians do, talk to people '7 in the power centers.

Yellow-highlighted items are rec'd because either I've seen them and liked them, I've seen and liked the artist's other work, or the piece happens to be in the area of one of my peculiar interests (so, no yellow does not mean it's not good).

It was a subprime mortgage gamble and the working-class were unwitting chips on the table. This debut feature gets to the guts of the matter by explaining how $8 trillion vanished into the American Casino. We hear from a teacher, a banker who sold us out, a mortgage salesman who inflated incomes to justify loans, and a billionaire who won a $500 million bet that people would lose their homes. We see the casinos endgame: Riverside, California a foreclosure wasteland of rats and meth labs, where mosquitoes breed in stagnant swimming pools of yesterday’s dreams.
