During July, NBC decided to take ownership of the influenza story. Its coverage of the H1N1 swine 'flu had not been noticeably more intense than the other two newscasts for the first two months of the outbreak (58 min v ABC 55, CBS 46). Then last month, NBC (24 min v ABC 13, CBS 15) kicked into gear. Robert Bazell continued on Monday with a preview of back-to-school preparations for an outbreak at a San Diego County high school and in-house physician Nancy Snyderman now monitors vaccination preparations. As for those back-to-school worries, ABC's Lisa Stark was reassuring. When the swine 'flu first appeared last spring, federal public health authorities "urged schools to shut down to stop the spread of the virus. Hundreds did. Now the government is expected to advise schools to remain open even as they start seeing cases."
