TV newser… for small markets

I’ve been out of TV news for about a year, and I’m glad I’m no longer involved in that animal. I still relish a well produced newscast, and watch ESPN News more for the producing than the actual sports news (i’ve got a problem, I know) so it’s of little shock to anyone that I’ve found a small time TV news blog that is actually interesting. TV News Grapevine is run by some “agent” that helps small market people find small market talent, or that’s what I gathered from the two seconds of background research I did.

The site features daily story ideas that you can bring to your morning meeting and look smart (if no one else reads the site) and general background and history of TV news on a shoe-string budget. Check out their teasing tips, if you’re one of those producer types.
