Live Media Reports on the Pope’s Trip to the US

April 15, 2008

It is often fascinating how a news story changes shape and perception depending on the reporter and the angle of the story.  What is missed by one media outlet can become the focus of the story reported by another media outlet.  With Pope Benedict XVI about to arrive in the US, it will be interesting to note what is covered and what is emphasized by the different media personnel and what is actually going on behind the scenes. 

As a viewer, it is often hard for us to compare stories and know what is most accurate.  A new website, LiveNewsCameras, is providing a very interesting glimpse that will help with this dilemma.  Offering live news feeds from around the country and even around the world, viewers can now click on a news station and see exactly what is going on there.  It is easy to switch between cities and media outlets.  And it is fascinating to watch what is actually going on behind the scenes. 

Although the site is in Beta testing, it will provide a timely contribution to viewing Pope Benedict’s visit to the US this week.
