MSNBC's Dan Abrams doing what cable execs do

Newly minted cable news exec Dan Abrams is getting a hang of things at MSNBC. Abrams has tapped former NY1 anchor Davidson Goldin to be MSNBC's editorial director. The two met in 1999 when Goldin was a producer at "Dateline NBC" and Abrams was the show's legal analyst. One of Goldin's first tasks will be to help implement Abrams' top priority: "increasing the emphasis on breaking news." We know one way to improve the whole breaking news thing at MSNBC. When fresh news comes in, the screen should go blank with the words "Breaking News" in big bold read letters, then cut to the newsroom for the story. Or he can just go about doing it the way he probably already has in mind. But just how will Davidson Goldin -AKA- the guy with two last names help to emphasize breaking news? Dan's got a new man [NYP]
