Congrats to longtime LR pal Sree Sreenivasan, who joins WNBC in New York City as the station’s tech reporter. Sree’s a longtime Poynter guy and Columbia J-School prof. So he’s, you know, kinda qualified. According to the NY Daily News, Sree will be reporting both on-air and online and will head up a bunch of the station’s new media projects. This is a vital job for local stations, and one that doesn’t even exist at most of them. Tech is an under-reported beat. It’s especially essential in the big cities like New York, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco. Having a smart tech reporter who can be platform-independent and help with the station’s digital media projects simply makes sense.

why is it “especially essential in the big cities like…”?
it would seem to me that it would be especially essential in EVERY city as it is the future of media.
if it plays in peoria…
Good for him. I knew him since he was a student at columbia J school. Great guy. Very smart. Good for him. Better for WNBC.
Sree is fantastic. And was woefully underutilized at WABC. Fairly typical…ABC doesn’t seem too interested in holding onto their best Media 2.0-type people.
