What is this journalistic video style?

[DawgHouse]

I see this quite a bit on the "news magazine" style shows and it's happening so often that now I find it annoying. First the reporter is looking into the camera and then the camera switches to a side view so that we can see that the reporter is reporting. Do you know what I mean?

For example, here's a video I was watching this morning where they do it five seconds in to her report and then again at fourteen second, back and forth, and several times through out.

FYI the video is about how burgers might not be good for you.

1. It's neither journalism nor style. Both are long dead.

The head-on shot is always used to prop up some idiot "reporter" spewing some new earth-shattering crap directly into your face.

If you, the viewer, then suspects that some idiot reporter has been propped up to spew some new earth-shattering crap into your face, the network switches to the sideview camera to assure you the network fully supports and reaffirms the idiot reporter propped up to spew some new earth-shattering crap into your face. It's the classic "jury shot."

If I'm repetitive, well so is CNN and their invented hamburger crisis revival bullshit. I didn't watch the video, didn't need to.

2. Jury shot!

Yes, that's it
