According to Chicago-based firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc., which tracks the employment market, 14,909 jobs were eliminated across broadcast, television, film, news and streaming in 2024. That number compares to 21,417 jobs that were loss in 2023. And this doesn’t include the 2025 numbers so far.

No way to begin…who needs more depressing news?! But it’s the perfect time to put a toe in the water and let ya know about the upcoming Changing Channels seminar, put together to help the folks who have been in the media (and those who still are but want to escape). After years of fielding phone calls asking about every aspect of work, it’s time to put it all together and share some how-to’s, ‘think about this’, and ‘why not trys’. Thus Changing Channels was born. SYDNEY RUBIN and moi are going to help. We will empower creative people who are looking for more satisfying jobs to move past their current state/position. It’s hard to sell yourself but creatives can sell anything else. Through stories and lessons and also some drills, you can get yourself ready to find slots where you are appreciated. Compensated. Each session will be just 5 people (all the better to help you this way), Drop us a note and let us know you’re interested. You’ll be #1 on the list when we nail down the dates. As they used to say in the TV world, stay tuned…

I am so sorry to see Scripps downsize CHIP MAHANEY. He is the kind of person you want to work for. A major news hound who loves WhataBurger (what a burger should be).
