EXECUTIVE SESSION WITH DAVID KANSAS
APM Aims For Digital Local News Lead
Public radio has established a beachhead in local digital news, hoping to fill the territory left vacant, in part, by the shrinking of daily newspapers. David Kansas, COO and senior VP of American Public Media, spoke to NetNewsCheck about the company’s local journalism efforts, including its Public Insight Network and its recent merger with Spot.us, a crowd-funding hub for journalists. APM is also eyeing opportunities stemming from the expansion of digital media technology in the automobile.
