Virtual Maps

I wonder if Tim Russert would have liked working with the new virtual maps. He was a whiteboard guy who just completely got it. Some of them look too fake.

Oh good. NBC showed Ann Curry on the green set without the graphics.

NBC is also going old-style with real-life "buckets" pulling blue & red bars up the front of the NBC building at 30 Rock. Picture one of those thermometers that measures a fund raiser trying to reach its goal. NBC has 2 real-life versions to go along with their paint-by-number map on the ice.

Tim Russert

On this election day, we pause to remember the late Tim Russert and his famous electoral map whiteboard from the 2000 election night coverage.
