How many correspondents does it take (2)

Yesterday I blogged about the story of 472 BBC employees hanging on the edge of their telephones over discussions about covering the US conventions

Well today it seems that CNN have taken a more realistic approach to reporting the convention.

Bill Schneider, its political analyst was quoted as saying

There will be more than 10,000 reporters at the convention and very little real news.
But plenty of news of the contrived or press release-generated variety! How many reporters is CNN sending? (We’re sending two —hoping, of course, to find “news” among those 10,000 reporters with nothing “real” to report).
