A new website about local TV news

There is a new website devoted to local TV news. The site is http://the247newsroom.com and I am proud to say that I know its founder Tom Petner very well, going back to when I was an Assignment Editor and Reporter at CBS News back in the 1970s. Tom runs a tight ship with responsible reporting and analysis of what is going on in the business. Tom is a longtime TV journalist, newsroom manager and former editor of TVSpy. Unfortunately, when Tom left TVSpy that site quickly deteriorated. Losing Tom was TVSpy's biggest mistake.

Tom's new site has continuous daily media updates, a job center, columns by media experts, directories for media information, a student section and more. Give it a look.

Yeah I like what I see there.
