In brief:
NY Local promotes jobs in New York State by presenting stories about businesses, research institutes, farms, and especially individuals who are contributing substantially to the growth and sustainability of agriculture and all of its related fields. The combined up-state and down-state audience is the general public, especially legislators, job-seekers, teachers and students. Produced “from the bottom up”, the stories are posted regularly to the internet, related teaching materials are made available online, and seasonally, the best of these stories are aggregated together by NY public television for broadcast. A regional call-in segment with industry experts to answer viewer’s questions will follow each seasonal TV broadcast. The production team has over 40 years of experience and has partnered with WCNY-TV as our Public Broadcasting arm and the project’s fiscal sponsor. A radio component of NY Local is planned to journalistically explore, in a timely fashion, current news about New York agriculture.
