  • The Producing Process 3
    03-Schultz.qxd 6/29/2004 12:34 PM Page 37 The Producing Process 3 y now, you have a pretty good idea of what a producer does to get B a newscast on the air. So far, we have only talked about these duties in the abstract sense. It is now time to take a closer look at the step-by-step process of putting a show together. Story Ideas and News Value A newscast starts with a series of story ideas, which are nothing more than potential ideas that could eventually end up in the show. Story ideas come from a variety of sources, and the good producer will often come to work with several story ideas already formulated. These may come from other media, be follow-ups from stories done the previous day, or be a consequence of personal observation (see Table 3.1 for examples). Producers like their reporters to come to work with story ideas, and reporters should have some concrete suggestions for stories, even if these ideas never pan out. Too many reporters show up with the expectation that producers will have a story already assigned to them. This can waste a lot of precious news time as reporters scramble to try and set up a story or contact news sources. Producers and reporters will suggest their story ideas at the editorial meeting, where they and the news director will discuss events going on in the area. The purpose of the meeting is to consider all possible story ideas and narrow them down to a list of stories that will go in the newscast.

    Irwin 1 Interview of Debbie Greenberg Irwin, class of 1979 Interviewer: Phyllis Santry, class of 1966 Date: June 9, 2014 Location: New York, NY Interview transcribed by Daniel Putnam, class of 2015 Note: From the start of the interview through 7:30, there is significant amount of background noise. PHYLLIS SANTRY: This is Phyllis Santry, I’m talking to Debbie Irwin in New York City on June 9th, 2014—part of the Oral History Project of the Pembroke Center Associates. Debbie, I’m sure you took a look at some of these questions—it’s basically divided into three sections: your background, your experience at Brown, and then your eXperiences going forward. So we have a few sample questions that might get the ball rolling here, whatever you think is important to focus on, of course, is up to you. Could you tell me a little bit about your family and your background? DEBBIE IRWIN: Sure. I don’t recall actually if you said my name—I’m Debbie Irwin. SANTRY: Oh, did I not say that? Oh dear. [laughter] IRWIN: You may have, I’m a little distracted by the noise in the background, and I hope that it’s not a problem for the recording… So, I grew up in Chicago, and my father was a professor of Entomology at the University of Illinois. And my mom was and is a family therapist. We did a lot of traveling abroad because my father won a Fulbright, twice, to study wherever he wanted. So we went to Rome and spent a year there.

  • 1 NBC NEWS WORKPLACE INVESTIGATION on November 22
    NBC NEWS WORKPLACE INVESTIGATION On November 22, 2017, a member of the Human Resources department for the News Division1 received an email from a woman stating that she had a serious concern to report. News HR immediately reported the matter to a senior employment lawyer at NBCUniversal (the “Company”), the corporate parent of the News Division. The complainant ultimately agreed to be interviewed by News HR and the same senior NBCUniversal employment lawyer on November 27, 2017. During that interview, the complainant alleged that Matt Lauer had engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace with her on several occasions in 2014. The interview team found her detailed allegations to be credible. On November 28, 2017, Lauer was interviewed by senior members of NBCUniversal corporate HR and Legal. During the interview, Lauer admitted to engaging in sexual activity with the complainant. The Company determined that his conduct violated Company policy and terminated Lauer’s employment on November 28, effective immediately. Within the two weeks after Lauer’s termination was announced publicly by NBC News on November 29, 2017, the Company received information about three additional women, who each alleged that Lauer had engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace with them in 2000, 2001 and 2007, respectively.2 On November 30, 2017, Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal, instructed Kim Harris, NBCUniversal General Counsel,3 to assemble and supervise a team of experienced lawyers and HR professionals from outside the News Division

  • An Open Letter: Over the Past Two Years People Have Asked Why I
    An Open Letter: Over the past two years people have asked why I have not spoken out to defend myself more vigorously against some of the false and salacious allegations leveled at me. It is a fair question and the answer is deeply personal. Despite my desire to set the record straight and confront the individuals making false allegations, I wanted nothing less than to create more headlines my kids would read and a new gathering of photographers at the end of our driveway. So I decided to just stay quiet and work on repairing my relationship with the people I love. It has been the most important full-time job I have ever had. But my silence has been a mistake. Today, nearly two years after I was fired by NBC, old stories are being recycled, titillating details are being added, and a dangerous and defamatory new allegation is being made. All are being spread as part of a promotional effort to sell a book. It’s outrageous. So, after not speaking out to protect my children, it is now with their full support I say “enough.” In a new book, it is alleged that an extramarital, but consensual, sexual encounter I have previously admitted having, was in fact an assault. It is categorically false, ignores the facts, and defies common sense. I had an extramarital affair with Brooke Nevils in 2014. It began when she came to my hotel room very late one night in Sochi, Russia. We engaged in a variety of sexual acts. We performed oral sex on each other, we had vaginal sex, and we had anal sex.
