Last nite I heard a news report on NPR. It was regarding the guilty verdict of Lewis Libby.
This report was filed by NPR reporter Libby Lewis.
What the . . . Libby Lewis?!? Lewis Libby?!?!? At first I did a doubletake, audio-style.
Then I realized the genius of it. Of how this clever naming convention increased my recall of the story -- and of the oft-forgotten correspondent.
Believing, then, that this is a trend, I look forward to future reports on newsmakers from the following NPR correspondents:
-W. Bush-George
-Obama Barack
-Cuban Mark
-NicolAnna Smith (job outlook: sketchy)
-Chris Luda
-Reynolds Burtt
-Oliver Erick
