Cable reinvents the (news) wheel -- Politico writer Alex Weprin suggests that the 24 hour cable news outlets are changing for the digital age. Weprin believes they have dropped the "news wheel" format of providing "headline" coverage each half-hour of the day, and are instead choosing to focus in-depth on one or two stories, with a mix of documentary/reality/entertainment programming. Much of that "in-depth" coverage consists of your standard "two talking heads debate the topic" style of coverage.
