Televisionation Friday Fireside: Ex-Graham Media CEO, Emily Barr, on Local Broadcast News
October 25, 2024
Televisionation: Friday Fireside, the #1 television industry Webcast, features Rick Howe, The iTV Doctor, in conversation with prominent figures from the advanced-TV/video industry.
The Friday Fireside welcomes Emily Barr, previously CEO of Graham Media, and a long-time broadcast journalism and management veteran. We discuss a possible solution to the crisis of local broadcast news—a cooperative between otherwise competing local stations, to combine resources (and playback rights) to key stories that otherwise would go uncovered. Broadcast television is no longer the first choice for “breaking news,” and we need to find a viable and affordable solution to keep these valuable community resources afloat.
