NewsBluntly Blog Debuts With Insights, News and Entertainment for TV Journalists

Online Journal on Industry Issues, Trends and Services

NEW YORK, N.Y., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The NewsMarket (http://www.thenewsmarket.com/), an online platform for the delivery of broadcast-standard news video to television journalists around the globe, this week expands its presence in the media community by premiering its online journal, NewsBluntly blog at http://www.newsbluntly.com/.

"Blogs are becoming mainstream and their influence is being felt on news, politics and corporate reputation -- a trend widely recognized by television journalists," says Shoba Purushothaman, The NewsMarket's CEO and co-founder. "NewsBluntly is meant to provide a lively forum for journalists and producers in broadcast news to share their thoughts with each other."

NewsBluntly features original content by authoritative media writers that will inform and entertain broadcast-news staffers with succinct, droll riffs on major -- and not so major -- "inside-the-newsroom" stories.

To mark the launch of the blog, The NewsMarket is hosting a party in Manhattan on Dec. 2 with guest of honor Joe Trippi, supreme blogger, MSNBC commentator and former Howard Dean campaign manager. Mr. Trippi will comment on how blogging has changed both the political and news landscapes.

In addition to informative posts and relevant links to other media blogs and useful sites, NewsBluntly displays the latest headlines from news video provided by The NewsMarket. Every day, visiting broadcasters find new content, in the form of broadcast quality b-roll footage and packaged materials from leading global organizations such as UNICEF, Intel, General Motors and the US Department of State.

"With NewsBluntly, we're addressing television newscasters' unique social network and embracing the concept of participatory journalism," adds Purushothaman.
