[Imc-newsroom] names for news hour

[Sascha Meinrath]

I think it is important to "brand" ourselves.  I also like "IMC News Hour"
for two rather important reasons -- first, it is what we have been calling
ourselves to this point; second, it is self-evident what the show is, and
what one can expect from the show's content.

IMC News Hour lends ligitimacy to what we produce and is a name that is
accessible to the general public -- e.g. I have heard other people who
are not affiliated with the IMC refer to the show as the IMC News Hour,
demonstrating that they also use this title.

So, in a nutshell, I'm interested in consistency, clarity, and
accessibility (which is my new buzz-word).
