TV news has certainly made some changes in the past year, largely due to the economy and a push for media consolidation. In local news, people are working longer hours with less resources and less pay. Two out of the three large networks have made numerous layoffs, in an effort to keep profit up. With cable's growing viewership and the increasingly convenient online news sources, who are the people that are still making progress for the networks?
