TV Ratings: HLN Swells With Jodi Arias Verdict Coverage - Hollywood Reporter



HLN coverage of Jodi Arias Verdict

The 19-week media circus around the Jodi Arias murder trial reached its climax on Wednesday with the jury's reading of a guilty verdict against the 32-year-old Arizona woman -- and cable news reaped the ratings benefits. �

HLN, which has seen atypically strong returns since January thanks to wall-to-wall coverage of the trial, predictably came out on top in the hour when the verdict was read. The 4 p.m. hour saw HLN's haul swell to 646,000 adults 25-54, besting the big three with CNN (522,000), Fox News Channel (457,000) and MSNBC (106,000) all trailing in their Phoenix dispatches. HLN host Nancy Grace's heavy coverage of Travis Alexander's 2008 killing had made her somewhat synonymous with the trial.

Among total viewers, FNC maintained its usual edge with 2.76 million viewers, though HLN surged to a very uncharacteristic second place status with 2.198 million viewers. CNN trailed with 1.52 million viewers, followed by MSNBC with 395,000.

Boosted as HLN might have been, the Arias verdict remains a far cry from its record hauls brought in at the conclusion of the Casey Anthony trial. July 2011 saw HLN jump to 5.2 million viewers when a Florida court found the accused mother innocent of killing her daughter.

Wednesday brought a mixed bag of different news stories. The morning was dominated by coverage of the Benghazi hearings, which FNC topped easily by all measures. And in primetime, most non-HLN coverage returned to ongoing developments with the Cleveland kidnapping story in the evening. That drove CNN to a close second to FNC in the key demo, losing with 454,000 viewers compared to FNC's 471,000.

Interest in the Arias trial is not over yet. The jury went back into deliberation on Thursday to decide whether or not Arias will be sentence to death. In a Wednesday interview with the Phoenix, Ariz, Fox affiliate, Arias said she preferred it to the prospect of life in prison.

After The Office, Dunder Mifflin Will Live On in Every Office - TIME

Donald Bowers / Getty Images for Quill.com Dunder Mifflin paper is now an actual product you can buy through Quill.com, a subsidiary of Staples. It sounds like the plot of an unaired episode of The Office'�Staples, the archnemesis of regional paper company Dunder Mifflin, licenses the smaller business's name and starts selling paper and other office products under its banner. You can easily envision Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute flying to the office supply giant's headquarters to win their company's name and honor back. Maybe there'd be a gift basket bribe involved. Thanks to some clever branding, fiction has become reality. Though Jim, Dwight, and the rest of the quirky characters on NBC's long-running sitcom will have their final cringeworthy moments together tonight in the show's series finale, Dunder Mifflin's paper will fill the copy machines and supply closets of real offices around the country for years to come.

Communist Vietnam -- Human Trafficker Extraordinaire - American Thinker

Vietnam is now the proud possessor of the inglorious title "The Worst Human Rights Violator in Southeast Asia," according to recent testimony before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. State-affiliated labor export companies are major suppliers of men, women, and children to the forced labor and sex trafficking markets, while government officials profit from kickbacks. Statistics on Vietnam's human trafficking range widely; though accurate information about this communist country is hard to find. Vietnam's Ministry of Public Security offers an official figure of 2,935 Vietnamese who were subjected to human trafficking between 2004 and 2009. However, international organizations report a far larger number; more than 400,000 victims since 1990. Even this covers only those reported as victims, omitting untold tens of thousands of abuses that go unnoticed, especially in the labor force. Exporting workers is nothing new for Vietnam. After the 1975 communist ta
