PBS IN THE MEDIA

Newsday’s top TV pick was WLIW’s new production Visions of Israel, airing in honor of the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence. Thirteen and WLIW’s broadcasts of Visions of Israel were supported with ads in the New York Sun, Jewish Press and Jewish Week, online banners on 27 Web sites, and an e-blast with tune-in and Web links to 10,000 Jewish Week e-blast subscribers.

A BRAVE NEW WORLD

“In a feature story, The New York Sun looks at cinema’s “theater-less” future. “ ‘We are living on the Web now, with things like YouTube and MySpace and Facebook, spending time meeting people, social networking, reading, writing, watching TV — it’s where we now consume our news, our information, and our entertainment,’ the vice president of acquisitions and online media at FilmCatcher.com, Cristina Garza, said, adding that her company and others like it are banking on the continual online migration of the cinephile.” The article goes on to quote FilmCatcher co-founder Al Klingenstein: “The net is the great aggregator. Whether you’re in New York, or from somewhere like Peoria or Milwaukee, where you don’t have many art-house films, the five people in the community of 10,000 who really care can connect with other people and find out about these films online.”
