The three newscasts are not in lockstep. CBS (18 min v ABC 12, NBC 10) decided that the Michael Jackson memorial was more newsworthy than the other two newscasts, including a Katie Couric interview with Stevie Wonder in its coverage. This is the fourth weekday out of the last five that CBS has covered the story most heavily. Over that five-day period CBS has spent almost as much time on Jackson (45 min v ABC 25, NBC 26) as the other two newscasts put together
So whose judgment is right? Was the memorial worth the hype? Is there abiding interest in the late singer?
Sharing the view with CBS that this was a blockbuster event was the Los Angeles Police Department. CBS' Ben Tracy reported that the department spent $3.8m on security and deployed 3,000 officers to the scene "more than were on hand for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics." Tracy reported that the LAPD expected 250,000 mourners to arrive at the Staples Center, capacity 20,000. NBC's Michelle Kosinski quoted a crowd estimate of 700,000. In the end, CBS' Tracy saw "hundreds" of mourning fans, not thousands. NBC's Kosinki counted the crowd as a "manageable" 2,000: "Most honored Michael Jackson simply where they discovered him, in front of TV screens." She quoted a global estimate of 1.0bn viewers. By contrast 2.5bn had watched Princess Diana's funeral on television.
CBS' Jeff Glor surveyed the mourning around the nation and the globe. He quoted President Barack Obama's tribute from Moscow: "He had a profound impact over not just one generation, but two."
