Behind the scenes at New York’s FOX affiliate

by J Coco Chang, account manager

UPDATE: Here is a clip of an interview that took place on New York’s WBAI about the report “The Helpers Need Help.”

On Thursday I accompanied Pro-Media client the Human Services Council to a studio interview at FOX 5 in New York City. The segment will run on the “Street Talk” segment on Saturday, Sept. 12 during the 6 a.m. FOX 5’s Good Day program. It will also be available online here.

It was great to be back behind the scenes of a news program (something I am familiar with as a former TV producer). I was so glad to be there to provide support and help prepare Michael Stoller, executive director of the Human Services Council, as well as Gary Carter and Sarah Muller, both with Little Sisters of Assumption Family Health Services for the interview.

In the segment, they are discussing the severe challenges human service providers across New York City face in light of the economic downturn. A survey report that was sponsored by the Human Services Council and Baruch’s College School of Public Affairs has already gotten coverage in the New York Times, City Limits, WNYC, WBAI-FM, the Chronicle of Philanthropy, New York Nonprofit Press, Queens Courier and several more.

I captured some behind the scenes video and photos (available on our Flickr page). Here are the pictures:

Here is the final preparation for the news segment.

Here is the actual interview. The audio is not great, so make sure to watch the program Saturday morning!
