EXCERPT FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES:
TECHNOLOGY
Faces and Tickers and Blurbs, Oh My!
Anyone who tries to listen to a news anchor
while reading the various tickers all over
the screen may come away thinking
that bin Laden looks elegant at 35,
while Julia Roberts remains at large. 

EMERICK REMARK ON EXCERPT:
Competition for NewsPoet Laureate emerges
At highest levels of Nation's Mend-a-City:
Automated NewPoetry production processes
Require no thinking ideas for a newspoem
Nor even knowing that what might be poetic --
News-prosaic-ism is what you speak or do-em
With no knowing, you know the language of prose.
