Consider Oregon long form
Submitted by pubradionews on Wed, 11/28/2007 - 2:26pm.

One of the chief reasons we started looking at a change with Oregon Considered is that we wanted to increase and improve our ability to do long-form news programs. But when you have to "feed the beast" for half an hour a day with a hard-working but relatively small staff, those big dreams end up on the sidelines. I'm looking forward to (and I believe the rest of our journalists are, too) having the time to do some really in-depth, high quality reporting on local issues. Allison Frost is already working with our reporters on a series on the mental health system in Oregon that I think will be 'ear-opening' and solid. Though it will roll out as a series first, we're already looking at doing a special half-hour or hour broadcast on the subject. Just the first of many, I hope...

Thanks,
Morgan
