This show has been on the drawing board for a long time. In our journalistic world, Tara-Jean and myself have encountered and bumped into Bert Baron regularly, He is a recent inductee to the NJ Broadcasters Association Radio Hall of Fame. But Bert is omnipresent, host on the Morning Drive Show and literally everywhere that’s happening in Jersey central. Imagine the stories he can tell!
Then six months ago, I was asked to sit on the advisory board of the New Jersey Digital Newspaper Project, part of the Library of Congress and Rutgers University Alexander Library. The board consists of Rutgers library executives, professors, PhD’s, involved with journalism, history and culture.
Two active journalists were also asked to sit on the Advisory Board, myself and Charlie Kratovil, a recent Rutgers journalism graduate, and founder and editor of a vibrant, dynamic, New Brunswick devoted newspaper, ‘New Brunswick Today.’ Charlie represents involvement, activism, old-fashioned journalism that cares about reporting and making things right. The moment I met Charlie, I knew there was an NJ Discover TV Show waiting.
To add the ambiance of this show, I’ve invited a wide spectrum of local college journalism students whom I mentor and who can now absorb/learn from two very unique media journalists, Bert and Charlie. Indeed, a special show and night.
