CNN REPORTS “THE STIMULUS PROJECT”

CNN Press Release - In addition to CNN’s continuing coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti and the upcoming State of the Union, CNN will devote programming to the impact of the economic stimulus plan one year after it was enacted. Beginning on January 24 and continuing through January 29, CNN will break down where the money has gone, whom it's helping, and who has abused the program. In advance of the January 30 release of new stimulus data, CNN will utilize its vast TV and online reach to inform its viewers about which projects have received the stimulus dollars, what is and isn't working, if Americans’ lives have changed for the better, and who's still fighting to get help. Beginning on American Morning and continuing throughout dayside and primetime programming, CNN will highlight the stories of everyday people, offering viewers an understanding of the good, the bad and the reality of whether the stimulus money is being well spent or going toward wasteful projects. In his first television interview, Inspector General Earl Devaney, “the stimulus watchdog,” will sit down with CNN correspondent Kate Bolduan to give his take on how the stimulus money has been spent.

Leading the coverage on CNN/U.S. will be chief business correspondent Ali Velshi and CNN business correspondent Christine Romans. Velshi, along with CNN anchor TJ Holmes and correspondents Tom Foreman and Josh Levs, will review stimulus projects from CNN’s “Stimulus Desk,” and bring to light those that are the most interesting and newsworthy. CNN correspondents including Elizabeth Cohen, Drew Griffin, Joe Johns, Randi Kaye, David Mattingly, Ted Rowlands, Gerri Willis, and Kareen Wynter will fact-check the plan and report on which projects have been funded so far, where the jobs are, whether these projects will help the economy recover and where the loopholes are. In addition, CNN’s All Platform Journalists (APJs) have been deployed across the country on “stimulus patrol” and will contribute pieces throughout the week about various projects and people across the country that have been affected by the stimulus.

Online, CNNMoney.com is the premiere destination for all news, information and analysis related to the stimulus, and will feature multi-media photo galleries, text stories and video. Additionally, as part of "The Stimulus Project," CNNMoney.com is launching a data visualization that details how much stimulus money has been spent thus-far and on which programs. The first of its kind, this interactive graphic will provide users with the most comprehensive and accessible view into the state of the stimulus. CNN's chief business correspondent Ali Velshi also will use the data visualization on the Magic Wall on CNN/U.S. to help television viewers understand how the money is being used.

Additionally, at www.CNN.com/Stimulus, CNN.com has a special report that features an economy tracker which shows how stimulus money has been spent so far by state, and where new jobs have been created according to government information, an info-graphic that takes a look at some key factors of the economy and how it has gone up and down. In addition, the section includes opinion pieces on how the stimulus has worked and how it hasn't. CNN iReport, the network's user-generated news community, is asking iReporters to share their personal stories to add color to the numerical data.

Viewers can call CNN at 1-800-TIPS-LINE, to explain what's going on in their communities and how they feel the stimulus has impacted their jobs and lives. CNN will also conduct a poll and release numbers daily about Americans’ views of the stimulus package and the economy as a whole.

CNN, Fortune Partner For Madoff Investigation

CNN Press Release: Prime-time Special ‘Madoff: Secrets of a Scandal’ to air on Saturday, Jan. 10, and Sunday, Jan. 11, at 8 p.m. (ET)

CNN’s Christine Romans and Fortune’s Andy Serwer will host a special hour-long investigative report on CNN/U.S. examining disgraced financier Bernard “Bernie” Madoff and how he allegedly perpetrated one of the largest investor frauds ever committed by an individual.

“Madoff: Secrets of a Scandal – A CNN-Fortune Special Investigation” will air on Saturday, Jan. 10, and Sunday, Jan. 11, at 8 p.m. (ET). The special will profile Madoff and detail how his scheme played out, robbing many Americans of their money. Serwer and Romans, along with CNN correspondents Abbie Boudreau, Allan Chernoff and Alina Cho, will examine how the Securities Exchange Commission may have dropped the ball on busting Madoff nearly a decade ago and will profile a few of the charities that suffered severe ramifications.

Romans hosts Your $$$$$ on CNN/U.S.; Serwer serves as managing editor for Fortune.

Guests for “Madoff: Secrets of a Scandal” include Fortune reporters Katie Benner and Telis Demos and editor-at-large Allan Sloan. New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams will discuss how Madoff fooled New York high society. In addition, Romans will conduct a one-on-one interview with Madoff victim Alexandra Penney, a New York artist and former editor of Self magazine, who says she lost her life savings in the Madoff debacle.

“Madoff: Secrets of a Scandal” will also air on CNNI on Saturday, Jan. 10, at 5 a.m. and noon (ET). Segments from the program will be available on CNNMoney.com.

Christine Romans anchoring "Now In The News"?

It's Midnight CT and I flipped to CNN/U.S. and noticed Christine Romans anchoring Now In The News before the repeat of Anderson Cooper 360°. Is it normal for her to anchor the Now In The News at this time of night, or does someone from Atlanta do it? She was coming from the New York newsroom. This didn't seem to be "Live" as there was no live bug at the upper left corner of the screen. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks!

In The Money

I really like In The Money with Ali Velshi and Christine Romans. Christine is great, a perfect fit for the show. A couple of observations:


- At a commercial break around 2:46 PM CT, they showed the In The Money website, which still had photos of Jack Cafferty, Jennifer Westhoven, and Alan Wastler on it.

- It looks like the New York studio opens up into the New York newsroom. This may be something new, or something that has happened for a while now and I just haven't noticed it. I really like this look.

Watching this show makes me miss CNNfn.

Host Shuffle on In The Money

Looks like the hosts are shuffling again on CNN's In The Money. Christine Romans is replacing Jennifer Westhoven and Alan Wastler with Ali Velshi on the show.

This must have just changed as a couple of weeks ago on the CNN Ali V Podcast, Jennifer came on at the end of the show asking people to join her with Ali Velishi on In The Money.

Update: Makes me wonder if Jennifer Westhoven is still with the network. She hasn't been on Robin & Company at all this week. Stephanie Elam has been filling in for her.

Jennifer did show up on the CNN Ali V Podcast (published 04/30/07) doing the intro/outro to the podcast and mentioning that you could catch Ali Velshi on American Morning weekdays.
