ABC’s Diane Sawyer: From ‘Good Morning America’ to ‘World News Tonight’


MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — The recent passing of broadcast-journalism giants Walter Cronkite and Don Hewitt has had many remembering the history of network news. It seems likely, however, that the two CBS News vets, who were present at the creation, would have wanted to report on its future, especially given today's news that "ABC World News Tonight" has named Diane Sawyer to take over for anchor Charlie Gibson this January. With "CBS Evening News" helmed by Katie Couric, for the first time two women will anchor network newscasts, leaving NBC's Brian Williams the sole anchorman.

A polêmica WWF, DM9 e o 11 de setembro: “Francamente, espero que você morra de fome nas ruas”

O pessoal da The Denver Egotist resumiu a polêmica toda, e eu vou aproveitar do mesmo expediente para explicar o que está acontecendo com o anúncio da WWF criado pela DM9, ou DDB Brasil se preferir, considerado desrespeitoso pela opinião pública (norte-americana).

Premiado com Merit no OneShow deste ano, somente há alguns dias virou assunto na internet a peça impressa abaixo, em que a WWF diz que o tsunami na Ásia matou 100 vezes mais pessoas do que o ataque ao World Trade Center, em 11 de setembro de 2001. O anúncio mostra dezenas de aviões indo em direção a Manhattan e colisão iminente.

É a conhecida tática de usar uma tragédia para dizer que a outra tragédia merece mais a nossa atenção. Isso já foi feito dezenas de vezes na propaganda, mas é claro, mexer com o 11 de setembro é inadmissível para os primos ricos do norte.

WWF 9/11 DDB Brazil

Com a polêmica instalada, a WWF condenou a peça e disse que jamais viu e aprovou a criação. A DM9 distribuiu nota declarando que “O anúncio Tsunami para a WWF Brasil foi criado em dezembro de 2008. A agência se desculpa a todos que foram afetados ou ofendidos com o anúncio. Este anúncio nunca deveria ter sido feito e não retrata a filosofia desta agência”.

A mídia também se voltou contra o One Club, por ter premiado a peça, e em declaração ao NY Daily News, a DDB Brasil usou a velha saída de “os responsáveis pelo anúncio já não trabalham mais na agência”.

Mesmo com a grande cobertura de jornais e emissoras de TV dos EUA sobre o assunto, o golpe mais veemente veio do apresentador Keith Olbermann da MSNBC. No programa “Countdown”, ele coloca a equipe da DDB Brasil na lista das piores pessoas do mundo, e finaliza dizendo que espera, francamente, que o CEO da agência “morra de fome nas ruas”.

Viu crianças, um dia, aquele anúncio-fantasma da sua pasta pode se voltar contra você. O The Dog & Pony Show diz como poderemos acabar com as peças fake para sempre.
