BREAKING NEWS: Paris Hilton Back to Jail! Local TV News Teams Overwhelmed with Breaking News!

Covering the coverage:



KNBC/NBC4 wins the top RED ALERT prize for employing not one, but two red "Breaking News" bars to cover the turn of events. Even the eventual nuclear holocaust would only garner one red bar, methinks.



KABC/ABC7 comes up with the best, and most effective headline: "Screaming Paris Sent Back to Jail." It's simpler than KNBC/NBC4's wordy headline, and much more descriptive/fun/tragic/evil than KCBS/CBS2's or the surprisingly tame KTTV/Fox11 one.



KCBS wins for best photo. That closeup of teary-eyed Paris, combined with those slew of slide shows (I especially love "Hot Billionaire Heiresses" -- dude, that's gonna triple CBS2.com's web stats today, guaranteed).


C'mon, KTTV/Fox11, there's no time to watch Fox shows online when I want for free -- didn't you hear? Paris Hilton is back in f'ing jail!
