thirteeN coNtiNues its tradition of providing

groundbreaking news programming with Need to Know

on PBS, a new weekly news & public affairs series

premiering this month online and on-air. Co-anchored

by acclaimed journalists Alison Stewart and Jon

Meacham, it features stories on the economy, the

environment and energy, health, security, and culture.

Stephen Segaller, VP of Content at WNET.ORG,

and Shelley Lewis, Executive Producer of Need

to Know, spoke with THIRTEEN about this exciting

new initiative.

Need to Know offers an innovative approach to news

reporting, fully integrating the broadcast and website.

What inspired you to create the series?

STEPhEN SEGALLER: We wanted to create a

newsmagazine that is weekly, topical and inherits the

depth and experience of our award-winning series like

Wide Angle and Exposé, but also offers something

entirely new in online journalism. The result is

Need to Know, a broadcast and Web destination that

reinforces the intelligence and substance expected

from public media.

FeatureD this moNth



Describe the relationship between the

TV show and the website.

ShELLEy LEWiS: They’re one and the

same. We don’t think of it as a website

with a TV show or a TV show with a

website. We hope and believe that fans

of the website will join us on television

and fans on television will check us out

on the Web.

Will viewers be able to contribute story

ideas to the series?

SS: They’ll be able to contribute story

ideas, comment on stories, and suggest

new directions to take stories we’ve

already done.

SL: We’re also hoping to have an area

of our website called “The Pitch Room”

where Web users can pitch stories to

our editorial staff.

What qualities will the two co-anchors,

Alison Stewart and Jon Meacham, bring

to the series?

SS: They’re both incredibly smart

journalists with very different back-

grounds. Alison won a Peabody Award

for her political reporting on MTV and

has become a celebrated multimedia

journalist at NPR and MSNBC. And

Jon Meacham is a Pulitzer Prize-winning

biographer who, as the editor of

Newsweek, has to decide what his

readership needs to know every

week. So they’re very complementary

high-octane talent.

Shelley, you’ve enjoyed an eclectic

career in network news. What attracted

you to public media?

SL: The idea of creating a new kind

of journalism that is both Web- and

television-based simultaneously was

a challenge i’d never taken on, and

the fact that it’s a PBS project is

definitely a plus. it’s exciting to be

working with really smart people who

value creative thinking.

What makes a story something your

viewers and readers “need to know”?

SL: Sometimes the answer to that

question is that the story is so incredibly

interesting. The challenge is distinguish-

ing between the “need to know” stories

and those that only require a short take.

i think on a Friday night people want a

show that’s provocative, informative, and

entertaining—not “ha-ha” entertaining,

but entertaining in that it’s engaging and

absorbing to the audience and readers.

how important are member dollars to

programs like Need to Know?

SS: Member support for all our pro-

gramming is critical. it often makes the

difference between hoping to produce

something and actually being able to

produce something. in these tough

times, we’re more dependent on viewer

support than ever before.

Major funding for Need to Know on PBS has been provided by PBS, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Bernard and irene Schwartz, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

American Masters: The Doors: When you’re Strange

Wed 12th, 9 p.m.

The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists made

The Doors one of America’s most iconic, influential

rock bands during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. This

American Masters film—the first feature documentary

on the band—tells their story using original footage,

much of it previously unseen. Johnny Depp narrates.
