Paula Zahn's Divine Proportions

[warch]

Instead of beautiful news readers, we need smart people who understand what they're reading, and thus can communicate it effectively. Anchors who are actually in control.

I couldnt help but think of the scene in Broadcast News (love that movie!) when the terrific Albert Brooks character finally gets his chance to anchor and literally melts. There is an definite performance aspect in broadcast communication that has nothing whatsoever to do with understanding content. Now if you can find the lucky combination... There's divine proportion. Paula? not really. She strikes me as one step right of Joan Lunden selling hand cream.
