Jason Barrett’s Post

HIRING ALERT: We've focused a lot over the past 8 years at Barrett Media on covering the sports and news media industry through a mixture of daily industry news, expert opinions, and conversations with broadcasting professionals. It's helped us create an online community for media folks, and bring together the industry through our sports and news media conferences. Our crew has grown from one (me) to now twenty-four contributors including six full-timers. Having great consulting clients and advertising partners has made this possible. We're still very much a small business, but we grind daily to help, challenge, and promote the media industry. Having said that, finding people who love to write about the media business, can do it consistently, have passion for it, and know the issues facing folks on the inside isn't easy. You've had to work in radio, TV, sales, digital, etc. to tell these stories properly, and it doesn't matter if you've worked in sports, news, music, tech, marketing, podcasting, etc. However, talking on the radio or TV or selling ads or programming a brand is different than staring at a blank screen, and creating a compelling news story, feature or column. I say this because I'm working on a few things to make our brand even stronger. I'm going to be adding in a few new areas soon, and would love to hear from broadcast professionals who have an interest in covering, and writing about the business. A simple email with your resume and writing sample works. Just reach out to JBarrett@sportsradiopd.com and if there's a fit, I'll follow up. Thanks in advance for your interest! #Broadcast #Broadcasting #Radio #TV #Television #Marketing #Sales #Sports #News #Music #Media #Jobs #Business #Digital

Good article today on BSM courtesy of Dave Greene. This is a big topic in media circles this week.

These are always fun to produce. My thanks to all who took part in it. Here are the results of BSM’s 2024 NFL Analyst Draft.

I spent last week in Las Vegas attending the National Association of Broadcasters Show. Artificial intelligence was a frequent topic of conversation and it’s the focus of this week’s column. Hope it gives you a few things to think about.

Sad news to share on this Saturday. Howie Schwalb has passed away. He was a great man, a valued employee at ESPN for many years, and a supporter of BSM. Our condolences go out to his friends and family. He will be missed. #RIPHowie

A productive week in Las Vegas with Stephanie Eads at the NAB Show.
