This program is designed for editors and producers for the specific purpose of providing national news programmers with credible sources for expert analysis and insight."

My God, that's a very long list. As a PR guy, I'd say it's too long. Also, such lists often reflect diversity of what they expect media to be interested in these days, moreso than a list of who's "in" or "out." Another factor: who's good on camera, or in print.
