Upstate Public News Center

With help from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, five upstate public broadcasters will be hiring news reporters and editors for what CPB calls a "local journalism center," one of seven multimedia initiatives being funded around the country. The CPB money will allow Schenectady's WMHT, central New York's WRVO, Binghamton's WSKG, Rochester's WXXI and Buffalo's WNED to hire five reporters, an editor and a "managing facilitator" to cover the use of technology in remaking the upstate economy.
