42-404: Since 1995, the program's weekday broadcasts have been anchored by Deborah Norville . Since 2020, its weekend editions have been presented by Mary Calvi , who also anchors the daily show when Norville is unavailable. Inside Edition is broadcast in two formats: the weekday edition is broadcast as a half-hour program and features a broad mix of news stories of various types and feature segments;

84-434: A compilation of stories from past editions and occasionally features lifestyle-oriented stories in relation to certain major holidays (such as Independence Day , Thanksgiving and Christmas ); from 2002 to 2012, certain episodes aired during the summer months also followed a similar format, mixing feature packages from past episodes introduced by the anchor of that day's broadcast with current news stories introduced by one of

126-463: A contestable role in news broadcasts. Some argue anchors have become sensationalized characters whose identities overshadow the news itself, while others cite anchors as necessary figureheads of "wisdom and truth" in the news broadcast. The role of the anchor has changed in recent years following the advent of satirical journalism and citizen journalism , both of which relocate the interpretation of truth outside traditional professional journalism, but

168-425: A criticism against the anchor in this case, claiming that by decreasing the number of people responsible for delivering the news, American viewers receive a bottlenecked stream of information about their surroundings. The choreography and performativity involved in the construction of the news broadcast dramatizes political processes, but in doing so, exposes its flattening of subjectivity and insistence upon itself as

210-410: A former anchor for NBC Nightly News , evidences this lapse in credibility generated by the celebration of the role of the anchor. In early 2015, Williams apologized to his viewers for fabricating stories of his experiences on the scene of major news events, an indiscretion resulting in a loss of 700,000 viewers for NBC Nightly News . David Folkenflik of NPR asserted that the scandal "corrodes trust in

252-450: A historically accurate and detailed description of what happened." A Current Affair (American TV program) A Current Affair is an American television newsmagazine program that aired in syndication from July 28, 1986, to August 30, 1996, before it was briefly rebroadcast from March to October 2005. The program was produced by Fox Television Stations , and based at Fox 's New York City flagship station WNYW , starting as

294-451: A local production in 1986. It was syndicated to Fox's other owned-and-operated stations the next year, and then went into full national syndication in September 1988. Its signature "ka-chung" sound effect was created using a combination of the sound of a construction paper cutter and the swing of a golf club put through a synthesizer. The program was originally hosted by Maury Povich . In

336-465: A news broadcast format in the United States was Paul Harvey . With the development of the 24-hour news cycle and dedicated cable news channels , the role of the anchor evolved. Anchors would still present material prepared for a news program, but they also interviewed experts about various aspects of breaking news stories, and themselves provided improvised commentary, all under the supervision of

378-480: A particular anchor seems to influence viewer perception less than the presence of an anchor in general. The role of the anchor correlates with the analogous, authority- and information-bearing positions already well-established in American politics , and the benefits it confers upon the political realm elucidate the compatibility between these two systems of information. Once again, Morse outlines this relationship between

420-455: A weekend edition (titled Inside Edition Weekend , though visually referenced as Inside Weekend in on-air graphics) is also produced, which also runs for a half-hour, and is composed of a selection of stories featured on the Monday through Friday editions the previous week. During major holidays occurring on a weekday, that episode may feature a format similar to the weekend edition but featuring

They may also be a working journalist , assisting in the collection of news material and may, in addition, provide commentary during the program.

In addition to being one of the first American broadcasters to cover the dismantling of the Berlin Wall , O'Reilly obtained the first exclusive interview with murderer Joel Steinberg and was the first television host from a national current affairs program on the scene of the 1992 Los Angeles riots . An Australian version was produced by Network Ten and

546-569: The New York Post ; at the time of the show's launch the Post , WNYW, Fox Television Stations and syndicator 20th Television were units of the original iteration of News Corporation . Initially, the program was broadcast as an irreverent, late-night broadcast on WNYW, but as it expanded, and under the direction of Brennan and producers Burt Kearns and Wayne Darwen , the program began to cover stories throughout America that were overlooked or ignored by

588-483: The air today), along with the many talk shows that dominated daytime TV during the 1990s. On March 21, 2005, the program was revived after a nine-year hiatus. Former Atlanta Falcons defensive end and lawyer Tim Green hosted the new edition, unofficially known as ACA 2 . In resurrecting the show, 20th Television gave it a more serious tone by covering more news and crime, rather than entertainment-oriented stories. As with its original incarnation, overt politicizing

630-454: The anchor and the larger context in which they operate: "[s]ince there are few other organs for inclusive and substantial discourse on social and cultural values in American life, the responsibility for interpreting the world and posing a political course of action and a social agenda falls on a very limited number of public personas, including such news personalities and the president". She levies

672-438: The anchor's construction of a commodified, aestheticized version of the news, some critics defend the role of the anchor in society, claiming that they function as a necessary conduit of credibility. The news anchor's position as an omnipotent arbiter of information results from their place behind a typically elevated desk, wherefrom they interact with reporters through a screen-within-screen spatial setup. A criticism levied against

714-686: The anchor, in NBC and in the greater profession", exhibiting the way in which the credibility of the anchor extends beyond their literal place behind the news desk and into the expectation of the news medium at large. CBS's long-running nighttime news broadcast 60 Minutes displays this purported superfluousness of anchors, insofar as it has no central figurehead in favor of many correspondents with similarly important roles. Up-and-coming news networks like Vice magazine's documentary-style reporting also eschew traditional news broadcast formatting in this way, suggesting an emphasis on on-site reporting and deemphasizing

756-411: The fall of 1990, Maureen O'Boyle replaced Povich and continued to host until May 1994. Jim Ryan then became interim host for the summer of 1994. Penny Daniels became host for the 1994–95 season and for what ultimately became the show's final season, Jon Scott subsequently took her place. Its creator and producer was Peter Brennan . One of its lead personalities was Steve Dunleavy , a columnist for

798-407: The final word of truth. More specifically, "the news media may do 'an important social good when using the techniques of dramaturgy to make governance more interesting to people than would be the case otherwise.' At the same time, however, 'there is an important difference between drama and democracy, with the former requiring spectators and the latter participants.'" In contrast to perceptions of

840-610: The first usage of this term on television. The anchor term then became commonly used by 1952 to describe the most prominent member of a panel of reporters or experts. The term "anchorman" also was used to describe Walter Cronkite 's role at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions , where he coordinated switches between news points and reporters. The widespread claim that news anchors were called "cronkiters" in Swedish has been debunked by linguist Ben Zimmer . Anchors occupy

882-406: The importance of the solitary anchor in the news medium. In her essay, "News as Performance", Margaret Morse posits this connection between anchor persona newsroom as an interconnected identity fusing many aspects of the newsroom dynamic: For the anchor represents not merely the news per se , or a particular network or corporate conglomerate that owns the network, or television as an institution, or

924-478: The late 2000s, as video sharing websites such as YouTube came into prominence, Inside Edition began incorporating viral video in most broadcasts, either those in relating to a news story covered in that day's edition or, more commonly, humorous or amazing videos (including clever marriage proposals, people and animals displaying interesting talents or stunts, active military personnel returning home from duty surprising family members and practical joke ); videos of

966-573: The latter type are typically included in the "D" block which closes each broadcast. In the 1990s, Inside Edition was classified by the Pew Research Center Project for Excellence in Journalism as "tabloid press" and a "pseudo news program."

1008-422: The lead (or main) producer, who coordinated the broadcast by communicating with the anchor through an earphone. Many anchors help write or edit news for their programs, although modern news formats often distinguish between anchor and commentator in an attempt to establish the "character" of a news anchor. The mix of "straight" news and commentary varies depending on the type of program and the skills and knowledge of

1050-424: The network and its viewers: "People tend to want to believe and trust in television news and start, really, from the anchor". Beneficial or not, the anchor fits snugly into the " personality cult " engendered within American society that encourages celebrity that demands a hierarchy of authority, evidenced by the negligible change in ratings following implementation of new anchors in broadcast lineups. The identity of

1092-465: The news as a one-sided relationship with its viewers, some believe that the news works in conjunction with its audience to produce the most efficient picture possible of the world. Tom Brokaw, in speaking about his experiences as a news anchor for NBC, explained how news stories for the length of their duration tend to feed off viewers' demands, and that news is inherently a "populist medium", and that "[p]eople are not going to turn to television networks for

1134-480: The news presenter developed over time. Classically, the presenter would read the news from news "copy" which they may or may not have helped write with a news writer . This was often taken almost directly from wire services and then rewritten. Prior to the television era, radio-news broadcasts often mixed news with opinion and each presenter strove for a distinctive style. These presenters were referred to as commentators . The last major figure to present commentary in

1176-535: The original concept. In February of that year, Frost was replaced as main anchor by ABC News reporter Bill O'Reilly . By then, the program had shifted towards a mix of tabloid crime stories, investigations and celebrity gossip. In point of fact, Inside Edition was one of the original "Big Three" tabloid journalism -style newsmagazines of the early 1990s on American television—alongside Fox's A Current Affair and Paramount's Hard Copy – which fiercely competed with each other in syndication during that period (and

1218-569: The original live broadcast. The program was among the first directly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on March 8, 2020 (the day where the COVID-19 was declared a pandemic ); as the CBS Broadcast Center (and thus, the Inside Edition newsroom and studio) was closed after building personnel tested positive for the virus. For the first week after, Deborah Norville originated

1260-418: The particular anchor. The terms anchor , anchorman , or anchorwoman are derived from the usage common in relay racing , specifically the anchor leg , where the position is typically given to the fastest or most experienced competitor on a team. In 1948, "anchor man" was used in the game show Who Said That? to refer to John Cameron Swayze , who was a permanent panel member of the show, in what may be

1302-430: The place anchormen and anchorwomen hold in American media remains consistent. "Just about every single major news anchor since the dawn of the medium after World War II has been aligned with show business," says Frank Rich, writer-at-large for New York magazine , in a polemic against commoditized news reporting, "reading headlines to a camera in an appealing way is incentivized over actual reporting".

The program was created by John Tomlin and Bob Young, whose concept was picked up by King World Productions (which CBS Corporation —itself having acquired King World through its December 2005 split from Viacom —folded into CBS Television Distribution in September 2007; both CBS and Viacom would re-merge as ViacomCBS in 2019) in

1386-577: The program's correspondents from its newsroom. The program is based at the CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan , which houses its main newsroom and production facilities as well as the set for the broadcast. Some editions, however, are conducted from the program's West Coast newsroom in Los Angeles (from where the program's L.A.-based correspondents sometimes introduce story packages) or on location at

1428-437: The program. Unlike its parent show, Inside Edition Extra was not able to attain high ratings and was canceled at the end of the 1992–93 season; it would be replaced by American Journal , which went on to a longer five-year run. In July 1994, O'Reilly began expressing a desire to leave Inside Edition . In March 1995, a little over six years after the show premiered, O'Reilly would leave the program. Deborah Norville , who at

1470-436: The public interest; rather, he represents the complex nexus of all of them. In this way, the network anchor position is a "symbolic representation of the institutional order as an integrated totality" (Berger and Luckmann 1967, p. 76), an institutional role on par with that of the president or of a Supreme Court justice, although the role originates in corporate practices rather than political or judicial processes. [...] Despite

1512-405: The role of anchor stems from this dynamic, insofar as anchors simply "... regurgitat[e] or reproduc[e] the report of others...", differentiating them from the productive occupations of journalists and on-site reporters. However, journalism professor Elly Alboim articulates the pro-anchor position by characterizing the anchor's nightly presence as a necessary way to build familiarity and trust between

1596-520: The then-dominant network news organizations. The logo of the program is a distinctive pyramid with a "zoom-like" sound effect (immortalized as the "ka-chung") for a theme. While showing some hard news stories, the focus of the program is often entertainment, scandals, gossip and exploitative tabloid journalism . It was popular during the 1990s when magazine-type news shows were common during daytime television. Its main competitors were Hard Copy and Inside Edition (the latter of which remains on

1638-645: The time was a weekend anchor for CBS News and who had previously been known for her brief stint as co-anchor of Today on NBC, was chosen to take over. By the late 1990s, as its similarly formatted syndicated competitors had already begun waning in the ratings, the program tweaked its format in an effort to retain viewers. While its focus continued to revolve partly around entertainment and crime stories, it also began phasing in additional hard news content (consisting of select major headlines of given warranty and other notable general news and legal-related stories) as well as lifestyle and human-interest story features. In

1680-449: The winter of early 1988, for a debut during the 1988–89 television season. When Inside Edition first premiered in January 1989, the program's format originally took on a high-brow approach, focusing on general news and investigative journalism .

1722-575: Was left out of the new program. It aired on all Fox owned and operated stations ( O&Os including UPN affiliates). This resurrection would be short- lived, however, as the departure from the Fox organization of Lachlan Murdoch and his replacement by 20th Television chairman Roger Ailes led to Fox's announcement that Ailes would replace the program with Geraldo at Large in November 2005, only seven months after ACA 2 premiered. Suspicions that Ailes pulled
