"Fake News" Study Cites Ch. 9 Again

WCPO-TV (Ch. 9) has been cited again in a national study about stations airing public relations video in newscasts – but this time for doing it right.
Ch. 9 was one of two stations mentioned for attributing the source of a video news release (VNR) aired in a newscast in "Still Not The News: Stations Overwhelmingly Fail To Disclose VNRs" released Tuesday. http://www.prwatch.org/fakenews2/execsummary
It was a follow-up by the Center for Media and Democracy to its April report in which Ch. 9 – and 76 other stations – were cited for airing so-called “fake news,” or video news releases from public relation agencies without crediting the source.
On Oct. 5, Ch 9 ran a clip from software-maker Computer Associates. The "Not The News" study said: "Ten seconds into the story, consumer reporter John Matarese reveals to viewers that the 'video was provided to us by Computer Associates.' WCPO-9 had been cited twice in CMD’s April 2006 'Fake TV News' report, for airing unlabeled VNR content from a pharmaceutical company and a floral trade group. The station has clearly improved their disclosure policy since then, and is to be commended for identifying the VNR’s sponsor to viewers."

Today is the half-way point of the November sweeps. The overnight Nielsen household ratings show Ch. 12 winning 6-7 a.m. and 11 p.m.; Ch. 9 winning 5-6:30 p.m.; and Ch. 5 running second at 5 p.m. (with the "Top 5 at 5," and "What Women Want"), and tied with Ch. 9 for second in the morning. Only 1.5 points separate 4 stations in the morning.
