I think you are right, Jo. If Ann interviewed one of the players from the
New England Patriots, I would not be interested in a long interview about
strategy (since I am not a football fan). Most people watched the interview
knowing little to nothing of children's books. They were exposed, for that
brief segment, to two of the best. If the next time these viewers buy a
present for a child, they go to the bookstore and find one of these,
children will be better served.
If we bombard the network with a lot of negative emails, the story becomes
"The Higher Power of Lucky, pt. 2" for the damage in public image of
librarians. We would need to be aware of the way our mails could be
misinterpreted.
Diane has a great idea of posting the author acceptance speeches or posting
our own interviews on Teachertube/Youtube. That would allow us to hear the
authors and get the information we, as true literary fans, love to know.
