MSNBC's prime-time coverage of the Republican National Convention had anchors in a studio in Manhattan, viewing a live feed of the convention floor behind them, creating an illusion of in-person reporting.
Veteran television news producers found MSNBC's arrangement unorthodox, as its top anchors were not physically present at the convention hall in Milwaukee.
MSNBC decided not to send its marquee personalities like Rachel Maddow to Milwaukee, opting for on-the-ground coverage by Stephanie Ruhle and Katy Tur instead.
