CNN to focus on biz coverage all week

The New York Times is reporting that CNN intents to "devote the bulk of its news effort this week" to the coverage of the economy and the global financial woes. 

From the story:

Jonathan Klein, president of CNN's domestic networks, said the network would fill all the "optional time," that is, between breaking news, this week with financial reporting and analysis that reflects a "cool, collected approach." That message is consistent with the channel's intention to brand itself as the news channel that delivers information without what it would describe as the partisan flavorings of Fox News Channel (right) and MSNBC (left).

CNN's coverage will include a multitude of topics including housing, employment and investments. CNN will even expect its reporters from the medical and entertainment departments to contribute material. Several reports from London and Hong Kong are scheduled to air in order to increase coverage of the "global impact" of the financial crisis.
