Eliminate the

Media Middle Man

Avoid The Traditional Media Intermediaries: As a corporate career, broadcast journalism seems to be on the downswing, long hours, high stress with little or no work/life balance. But, news is not dead, control may have simply fallen into the wrong hands. Perhaps it's time to consider more entrepreneurial approaches to careers in journalism leaving behind the constraints and restrictions imposed by the traditional conglomerate middlemen.

START PRODUCING YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL BROADCAST

Our goal is to help you succeed, too often, independents fall into the trap of optimizing their programs for influencer metrics, seeking views, likes, comments and shares but failing to drive real-world financial results.  Platform metrics cannot be conflated with favorable business outcomes. Success is measured in sponsored partnerships that lead to tangible business growth.

Underwriting isn't just a funding strategy, it’s a positioning strategy. Acquiring financial backers with values, objectives and demographics that align with your program is essential. They're not just paying for visibility; they’re investing in a framework that reinforces a position and delivers credibility by association. This is what will make your show a valuable asset and not just another piece of online content competing for attention.

WE ARE NOT "CONTENT CREATORS" . . .

Freedom To Deliver:

Cultivate a Unique Personal Brand:

Leverage Direct Audience Engagement:

_____________________

Corporate broadcasters invariably adhere to  a formulaic approach which has almost become cliché, they don't exactly encourage individuality. You have the skill and talent to build a distinctive personal brand and attract an audience interested not only in your subject matter but your unique style of presentation. Being original and consistent differentiates you and your program. You can be a source of anchored, authoritative information connecting with viewers that value your voice above the usual corporate narratives.

 

###

_____________________

When you take charge of your work product, you not only bypass corporate gatekeeping you also have the freedom to deliver straightforward reporting without any fear of recrimination. This allows you to earn a deeper level of audience trust, as viewers grow to appreciate the unfiltered nature of your program. Complete independence will open the door for you to focus on those stories that are overlooked by major outlets. Cover muzzled and under-reported issues with no pitch acceptance necessary.

 

###

_____________________

Traditional beat reporting offers limited time and control over editorial direction which means not only is it less relevant to viewers, it also makes it difficult to stand out as an individual journalist. Meeting deadlines and grueling schedules leaves little space to explore story depth. Comprehensive stories take time, reflection and creativity. Digital platforms have become the go-to for journalists seeking opportunities to create, fund, and distribute work product on their own terms. It opens the potential for a sustainable, entrepreneurial career path that aligns with your principles, interests and schedule.

The Advantages Of Your Own Show ...

Develop Multiple Revenue Streams:

_____________________

As an independent journalist you are able to diversify your income sources beyond simply a bi-weekly paycheck. Philanthropic funding, and partnerships with mission-aligned brands can contribute to regular, sustainable income. Local commercial advertising can be seamlessly integrated without compromising editorial integrity. By developing original programs for licensing and producing issue-based segments for various outlets, you can further diversify your revenue streams. Syndication opportunities with outlets nationwide can expand your reach and attract attention for additional financial backing.

"Doing Independent Journalism isn't just avoiding the downsides of traditional media; it’s about actively engaging in a new ecosystem where journalists have greater control, creativity, and influence."

Independent Reporting   -  Time To Ditch The Teleprompter!

It's time to invest in yourself, to start reporting your stories in your own words. You call the shots. That control means taking ownership of the intellectual property which is your work product and using it to build your own audience and financial base. No pitch meetings, assignment editors or corporate over-site.  The choice of career autonomy for journalists should not be a unique concept, as a professional it should be viewed as comparable to an attorney or physician electing to go into private practice.

What we Do:

We collaborate with on screen talent and independent teams to help them produce long form,  episodic, documentary or field expert interviews as well as editorial segments for broadcast on a variety of platforms. Corporate intermediaries are not necessary to profit in the digital media space.

The convergence of the linear and digital world is more than simply combining technologies—it's about redefining how societal narratives are shared and monetized. Whether you’re a journalist, a legal or medical professional or a field expert in any subject looking to extend your reach, message or personal brand, we’ll work with you in developing and implementing profitable media strategies.

Income & Opportunity For Independent MEDIA Professionals

Local  Income  Allies

-  THE FUTURE IS MOVING TOWARDS SELF-HOSTED BROADCASTING -

A major casualty of national media ownership has been local business advertising. Newspapers, telephone books (remember them?) and neighborhood publications have essentially vanished, leaving local merchants with precious few ad vehicles to reach potential customers. At the same time it seems journalism and reporting opportunities are quickly contracting leaving many broadcast professionals in a precarious position as well.

It may be time to realize that working for a media conglomerate is not the only way to employ journalistic skills. We enjoy working with broadcast talent to produce content that will have a positive impact on the city. Local businesses and philanthropies are increasingly investing in hyper-local programming as a way to build grassroots connections. PR agencies also recognize the power of aligning their clients with local content to drive community integration.

Investments in hyper-local programming is part of a larger trend in realizing audiences value proximity and have a more favorable response to organizations with local visibility. Those that leverage this strategy, position themselves not just as donors or sponsors but active participants in a community’s social fabric.

Corporate Broadcasters are beginning to realizing that legacy media practices are growing increasingly ineffective. Sadly this means layoffs and fewer traditional media jobs. For the entrepreneurial minded it represents a brand new slate of opportunities, opening the door for independent journalists and advertisers to gain new ways to connect with audiences.

it's time to leave the nest . . .

Some may view self-employment as a step back from a network position. Who wouldn’t love the thrill of it all—long hours, high stress, giving your all to a company that is actively and constantly seeking technology to replace you? Of course, there is always the promise that your hard work will pay off—any day now. The writing is on the wall, there is really little path for advancement in a contracting industry.

Taking control of your career may prove to be a major step in the right direction. We back you up with everything you need to produce broadcast quality productions. We start with station standard lenses, distinctive animation and identity graphics: intros, bumpers, stingers, lower thirds, and other essential visuals that define your program’s character. We build around your personality and presentation style to design a show that reflects your unique strengths and positions you to stand out .

In the digital market you are no longer a reporter describing occurrences, you are a host extracting information from expert individuals and interpreting it to viewers in language that they can understand and appreciate.

 

 

Breaking News Is Broken Go where you're needed most

Long-form reporting offers deeper definition for better understanding. It’s the antidote to rapid-fire breaking news.

Build a Community Around Your Journalism:

Going independent allows you to develop a reputation based on your own credibility. No longer just a beat, you’re impacting an audience that feels personally invested in your work. This type of chemistry forms long-term viewing relationships which can expand organically, generating increasing revenue and opening the door to a wider range of career possibilities.

You may not intend to become a local celebrity but popularity translates into impact, influence and income. It's all part of building a strong brand that sets the stage for subsequent opportunities to expand your network and enhances your ability to make a significant contribution to the community and industry.

Correct common corporate misconceptions for a more personal and powerful presentation. Those old network habits are hard to break. Remember - your goals have changed it's no longer appeasing advertisers or upper level management. It's audience direct and You're The Boss!

*Small town vaporized within seconds ...and now the weather

When an anchor uses the same cadence for serious news reports as they do for lighter segments it undermines the gravity of the subject matter, making the news feel disingenuous and the program less reputable.

 

It's also a common corporate fallacy that a reporter or anchor must always maintain a tone of neutrality and appear to  present all information in an objective manner. This approach is supposedly to demonstrate that information is delivered without bias. In fact, the effort to appear impartial usually backfires badly, leaving viewers feeling alienated and the delivery perceived as callous and disconnected from event realities.  Still most outlets, may prefer this to the risk of offending advertisers or political powers.

 

The objectivity hoop is just another hurdle journalists must jump for the benefit of outlets and advertisers. As a professional, maybe as a parent, certainly as a person, every journalist knows there are actually not two sides to every story. Feeling compelled to equally weight, for example: a sickened population with a polluters need for profit, makes the job and the morning mirror that much more difficult to bare.

Lately many news professionals are realizing both the necessity and possibilities of breaking from the corporate structure and producing their own independent programs.

 

We have both the technical and creative skills to make it happen. What's more we believe in the mission. We've created affordable packages that make it easy to pivot from your old beat to independence. Now more than ever the world needs quality journalism.

We Provide You With Every Phase Of Support!
