just let it go. Don't go behind the back on one producer to ask another.

If you already told the anchor, if they show interest, they'll follow it up.

I was just saying that next time, I would have my presentation ready to go instead of just pitching an idea. Give them something tangible to go with, with major online news sources to cite for reference.
That way if something comes up and they need a last minute piece to fill a gap in programming, maybe they will throw someone on that story since most of the leg work was done and all they need to do is verify and fact check.

update. Well the first person I sent the story idea to was the anchor and she is the morning producer too. The person who told me it wasn't a good idea is one of the morning reporters/producers on a different show I work on but his advice was mostly wait till I get more experience as an AP before I try writing. The anchor told me today, if I write it up and turn it in she will go over it with me and see if they can use it. In addition even if that doesn't work out, she did offer me a chance to do a holiday shopping guide for one of the upcoming shows as long as the big boss says it is okay this would be my first shot at real reporting.

Sony was in talks with Marvel regarding Spidey crossover...

Will update with quotes when done reading and back at a computer. But some tasks about an animated movie and something about bringing back Sam Raimi.

--- Quote ---Sony Pictures has considered partnering with Marvel, bringing back director Sam Raimi, and producing an animated comedy as it looks to revamp its big screen strategy for “Spider-Man.”

Details of the discussions are contained in e-mails to and from Sony’s motion picture chief Amy Pascal, which were released on the Internet by hackers this week.

The e-mails reveal extensive discussions between executives at Sony and Marvel owner Walt Disney, all the way up to their respective chief executives Kaz Hirai and Robert Iger.

In an Oct. 30 e-mail, Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad tells Ms. Pascal about a potential scenario that would see Marvel produce a new trilogy of Spider-Man movies while Sony retains “creative control, marketing and distribution.”

In a separate e-mail, Ms. Pascal tells a business partner that Marvel wanted to include Spider-Man in its planned third “Captain America” movie.

Some fanboys have clamored for Marvel Studios, which producers the blockbuster “Avengers” and “Iron Man” films, to take back control of Spider-Man from Sony, which has a long-term license. Sony’s last Spider-Man movie, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” received a mixed reaction from fans and modestly underperformed at the box office.

The talks with Marvel eventually broke down and Sony is now planning to go ahead with its own Spider-Man slate, according to people familiar with the matter. As of late November, executives were planning a “Spidey summit” for January to discuss future plans. Among projects in development are an animated Spider-Man comedy that would be produced by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the team behind “22 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie,” as well as previously disclosed Spider-Man spin-offs focused on villain team Sinister Six, super-foe Venom, and women from the webslinger’s life.

Ms. Pascal also talked to Sam Raimi, who directed the studio’s first three “Spider-Man” movies, about returning to the franchise, possibly to direct again or as a producer.

Now I hope Spidey fails in Sony's hands. Although an animated feature might not be a bad way for then to go for a few movies.
