Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Brendan Greeley
Anchors for FOX 5 DC chatted with Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen for a local take on national news.
Although local TV newscast audiences are slowly shrinking, television is still the most common way for Americans to get their news. But with options ranging from traditional newspapers to mobile alerts and wireless speakers, what does local TV news offer in a crowded media landscape? While some criticize broadcasts for being formulaic and lacking innovation, TV’s broad reach and reliability during crises remains unique to the format. We explore the local TV news ecosystem, what it offers the region and what media consolidation means for local stations.
