How Should We Connect With You?

I remember when I started in television 21 years ago. Back then – as in many newsrooms – you dreaded answering the phone in case a ‘viewer’ had a question or wanted to tell you what they thought of the newscast. Who wanted to hear that?

How wrong we were.

Today, I rarely say we have viewers; we have customers. And we definitely want to know what stories are on their minds, what they think of our newscasts and more!

I know we have a lot of work left to do – when I respond to someone’s e-mail or join the comments on our website, customers are amazed someone at the station actually cares about what they have to say.

Do we have a lot of work to do!

So, we have set up a lot of ways for people to give us the feedback I argue we don’t just want, we need in order to thrive in the world. One example is the live chat my station, News10, does on big story days.

: One Way of Connecting

We’re building a culture where everyone realizes how important this is. And hopefully, in a year or two, people aren’t so surprised when we talk back.

Take the poll, comment – give me some feedback.
