CBSN

• ... that CBS News's online news channel was designed primarily for younger viewers and their internet-connected devices?

• ALT1:... that prior to its official launch, The New York Times likened CBS News's online news channel to a video-based version of all-news radio?
• ALT2:... that CBSN is not specifically intended to compete against other U.S. cable news channels?
• Reviewed: List of Muslim philosophers

• Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and has inline citations that are not closely paraphrased. QPQ is also good. The hooks are only moderately interesting, and the sources for both the original hook and ALT2 do not support the statements. Having read the sources carefully, I think these ideas may have been read into the source. The Capital article makes no mention of targeting younger viewers, and the same article doesn't mention David Rhodes talking about competition. I did find a source from the lead that talks about targeting younger audiences, so the sourcing may just need to be reviewed and fixed. I did not, however, find any sources talking about the content of ALT2. – Maky ^« talk » 06:03, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Nearly a week since notification was sent to the creator/nominator, and no action has been taken, despite regular activity on other articles. I suggest moving to close this nomination. – Maky ^« talk » 20:24, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
