Paley on Park Avenue

By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Tue, 05/21/2013 - 10:12am

WXXI has received an incredible response to Episode One of our 6-part Paley on Park Avenue: New York City web series.  Viewers have been captivated by the videography, and many had no idea that Albert Paley was even taking on such an immense project. A reminder that Episode Two goes live this Thursday, May 23 here on our Paley on Park Avenue program page. And if you missed out on Episode One, you can also go back and watch it, since we will keep all previous episodes on the web page as well.

WXXI is proud to share with our community the behind-the-scenes story of what it takes to complete such a significant project. We look forward to sharing this story with art lovers everywhere through WXXI.org and PBS, and to expanding its reach through social media. A reminder that the series will also include segments broadcast Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. on Need to Know Rochester on WXXI-TV. WXXI radio and television will follow the completion of the sculptures and their installation on Park Avenue, culminating in a full-length PBS documentary. 

But until then, be sure to follow the story, culminating in the 13 sculptures being installed on Park Avenue this June. And please share the series with friends and family and let them know where they can watch it all unfold!

A perspective on NPR and Juan Williams

By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Tue, 10/26/2010 - 8:58am

The controversial firing of Juan Williams by NPR was both tragic and inevitable. Not because Williams isn’t a fine journalist (he is), or because he was a bigot (he isn’t). What made it inevitable was the difficulty of juggling two very different positions with two news organizations, NPR and Fox.

Election Coverage You Can Trust

By Norm Silverstein ~ Posted Fri, 10/22/2010 - 2:15pm

With the election season upon us, you have probably been overwhelmed with endless political ads, shouting pundits and polarizing news stories. That is, unless you have been tuning in to public broadcasting. WXXI has been the home for civil discourse and balanced information about the races that are most relevant to you.

If you were among the more than 2,500 people who attended WXXI’s Open House on Saturday, October 2nd, thank you for coming and I hope you enjoyed your visit.  We had a great turnout, with a line outside the door an hour before we opened, and a steady stream of visitors throughout the day.
