COMMENTS: Forget TV--Get a Radio
The start of the Atlantic Ocean hurricane season saw an alphabet soup of federal agencies engaged in public relations outreach to get residents in the zone to stock up on emergency supplies. NBC took the bait, assigning Kerry Sanders to worry about "complacency" with soundbites from FEMA and NOAA and the National Hurricane Center. He even managed to get a television angle into his story. Traditionally, battery operated TV sets have been used to receive storm warnings; but they have analog antennae and warnings will turn to white noise when signals go digital. Sanders' advice was lo-tech: "Get a portable radio."
