As most of you know, my paying job is consulting to television stations and TV station groups. My mission is to drag everybody kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and people are starting to pay attention. Broadcasting’s goose is cooked, and the smart owners are looking for answers (revenue) beyond what their transmitter can provide. Ignorance is their enemy, and ignorance of things Internet is rampant in the industry.

I’m now being asked to help with candidates for news management positions in stations that are sitting up and taking notice. So here’s your opportunity. If you read this blog and are in a current TV news management position — regardless of the level — I’d like to hear from you. I’d like an email that spells out the extent to which you “get it” and a resume. I’m developing a list of people who’d be interested in working for companies that want to stretch their Internet wings.

Survival in video news downstream will require a different mindset and a different skill set than most news managers possess today. If you read this blog, I suspect you understand that, and I want to hear from you.

I make no promises except to get your name in front of decision-makers who might want to talk to you.
