In the 8:00 pm news bulletin on February 6, 2006 the station broadcast an edited and re-voiced video news release (VNR) produced by D S Simon Productions for Sandal Resorts, Viking Caribbean Cruises and Air Tahiti Nui on romantic getaway ideas. The VNR was incorporated into the regular NY1 segment by Valarie D'Elia. [1]
In the 9:30 pm newscast on August 16, 2006, NY1 aired a segment by health and fitness reporter Kafi Drexel; more than half of NY1 segment was video from an American College of Physicians VNR. The station did add a brief on-screen label reading "Amer. Coll. of Physicians" to the segment. However, as noted in the Center for Media and Democracy report "Still Not the News": [2]
- Given the ambiguous and fleeting nature of this disclosure, viewers—if they noticed the label at all—likely assumed that just a few seconds of footage came from an outside source. No reasonable person (who didn't have access to the original VNR) would conclude that the majority of the segment actually came from a PR firm
