CNN Anchor Tony Harris Bounces Out of the Network

by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University – Scholarship in Action 

Another one bites the dust.  Tony Harris, arguably the most talented black correspondent with CNN, has left for Al Jazeera English.  The Al Jazeera network reports on news in the Middle East and serves a large audience, mostly in that region of the world. Harris spent six years with CNN before announcing his departure.

Harris is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, with experience on HBO and Entertainment Tonight.  Right before starting his first day at the new job, Harris said this:

“I’m really pleased to have joined. Having an interest in news from around the world, I was attracted by AJE’s global focus and look forward to being involved in stories from all points of the globe. It’s a very exciting time to be coming on board.”

I am an American on vacation in France. I just saw Tony Harris on Al Jezzera. I'm very happy for him but sad I won't be able to see him on CNN. Why can't we have Al Jezeera in the US, I wonder.

You can have AJE in the US. It is distributed via local public television station (PBS) and broadcast over-the-air & cable/satellite, as well as, streaming online nearly 24/7.

I find CNN stale and uninformed, while AJE is dynamic as the day's events. I enjoy the presence Tony commands as he orates, and am happy he made the switch.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest to south will prevail
over northern and Central Luzon and coastal waters along these areas will be moderate
to rough. Both the content and presentation of news are drastically different from what it used to be.

Due to the recent horrifying terror attacks and other such couple of events people want to
be aware and alerted of the whereabouts of the nation.

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Cheers
