Everyone talks about the future of broadcast news, but I think I've seen it already. It's niche-oriented, it's digital, it's funded by an organization that cares about the niche topic--- Clean Energy.
But is it independent? I have no idea.
But I met the producer of this online TV network. Executive Producer Anna Davalos says she produces daily newscasts with her staff in an office in downtown DC. Davalos has a wealth of broadcast news producing background. Now's she's moved onto this online broadcast network.
The news anchors are all experienced TV news folk. That 's a good thing. They have the look of TV news. But as for news substance, I hope it is as independent from the CleanSkies Foundation as Davalos claims.
Here is the foundation. I tried to find out what they were about but it only gives a list of people and their titles.
But this website adds more muscle to the claim that the movement of online-video has reached a tipping point, according to Paul Sagan, the CEO of Akamai, the online video streaming company.
