I find it so interesting that they have had to do some serious set design and dressing to make their new studio match the brand that they established for themselves in their old studio. To be honest, this has me thinking about how a lot of different news networks have distinctly different looks to them. Like if someone was just scrolling through channels, I would be able to tell the difference between Fox News and CNN with no problem, even without the little brand name in the corner telling the viewer. I suppose that feeds into the question of how much are these 24 hour news networks more entertainment than actual news. How much of their ethos is based in their particular look than their journalism. Not to say that I believe there is some grand conspiracy but given that this is talked about so often now I can’t help but wonder.
