Cut as a source
Mar 15th, 2010 by admin
I recently wrote about Daylight Saving Time and how it doesn’t really save people money. Mike Sugerman, a reporter at KCBS radio in San Francisco, found it last week and came over to the house to interview me for the story. We talked for about five minutes, and I expected to be on his segment today about Daylight Saving Time.
I was on one of the segments, at about 10:30 a.m., but his segment on the KCBS Web site cut me out as a source. I heard the live version and was happy for my seven seconds of fame and being described as a financial reporter.
To be cut out of the online version is a reminder of the many sources I’ve had to cut from many news stories over the years because they didn’t fit the final draft for some reason. It was interesting to be on the other side.
