Looking for a TV blogger

Cory Bergman May 29th, 2008

This week I made the jump from local TV to MSNBC.com, and I’m thinking about adding another volunteer blogger (or two) to Lost Remote. Inspired by the comments in the May sweeps story, I’m looking for someone who works in broadcast television who feels that print journalists and the stock market are unfairly diminishing the value of TV. Your mission would be to identify stories in the industry trades, published research and available case studies that illustrate the strength of television as a medium. At the same time, you must be forward-thinking on the technology front — you agree the business is changing but you’re optimistic the industry will evolve to meet the challenge. You must be articulate, have enough time to write 3-5 posts a week, have a depth of experience in television AND be willing to take the heat from Lost Remote commenters (who are never shy.) Oh, and it pays nothing. But if you’re sick and tired of the press and Wall Street declaring an end to TV, Lost Remote is a great place to argue your point (we’re read on a daily basis by TV writers at the major papers). Interested? Email me at cory@lostremote.com.

    Hook me up, bro.

    I did TV from the middle of a bean field for years in Farmersburg, Indiana.

    I can take the heat AND I ain’t afraid of you hollywood types.

    Is it a joke that he’s witty, or that he’s available? :)

    Harvey Korman and two members of the the original Star Trek crew are gone now so you’d better hurry.

    Since I’m not available, it’s must be a joke that I’m not witty. And I’ll second it.

    I’m joking because you’re not available!!!! That was a “we miss you” at “1 LR Plaza” comment. :)
