Funny video for sure.. Sadly many churches copy a "formula" and just copy what is working right now..Doesn't matter if it fits their personality or situation.. Sad..

I agree and I believe like most things that require teamwork and precision, techniques are passed down through the years, and what works sticks and what doesn’t get the boot. I always thought it fascinating at how much technique, skill, and formula is involved in a lot of the things that are supposed to entertain us. For instance, who came up with the best way to throw a football or shoot a basketball? I don’t know but the sport of basketball has evolved from shooting the “granny” shoot from the free throw line to shooting it the regular way. Like you said I don’t believe that it’s a bad thing that people borrow, that’s where innovation comes from. I believe the greatest people in their respective fields know how to borrow what works and add their own flare, unfortunately however everyone isn’t innovative. So I don’t think switching from the formula is the solution, I believe adding to what already works is. I just wrote a blog about that ironically. Also, I wasn’t insinuating that reporting is easy or ordinary, it’s just the opposite. My stance was coming from the fact that the techniques that they do use and hours of practice that they allocate to building there craft, I believe the end result is phenomenal at how “easy” they make it look.

Your question raises some interesting discussion points. I think the key is utilizing "formulas" or strategy to support your message without letting your message become part of the formula. Not sure if that makes sense or not. We all need strategy or proven formulas to help us become more effective at what we do but it's easy to take a formula and just mindlessly repeat it without giving any thought to how to personalize it. Great post! Great post Paul. Your question raises some interesting discussion points.

Personally, I didn't come away thinking reporting is easy or ordinary. What stood out to me is how specific the similarities are in news reports. That wouldn't happen unless producers were intentionally copying each others' techniques and then reusing their own techniques. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, which is why I'm interested to discuss it further. Hey Charles, thanks for your comment.

I believe it's amazing at how we can see things like reporting as something that is easy and ordinary but are really scripted and practiced to precision. The easier something looks the easier it is to fool the rest of us. This is pretty funny, but at the same time shows the art of reporting.
