Media Ch-ch-changes
2021 saw more changes in who covers and delivers our “news” than in most previous years. Below are some of the changes, retirements, etc. – if you of more, send us a message – we’re happy to add them in! We’re sure we missed a few..
Did you know? The Rhode Island market is considered a top market for fledgling media careers to get the big boost on to bigger things. This is particularly true in television media where the Providence-New Bedford market is a Top 50 ADI. So, while some seek a career to “bloom where planted” and want to hunker down to raise their family in Rhode Island, buy a home here, and settle in – others will see this as one of the coups to gain a leg up on their next big assignment.
