Frontline retooling for a “post-broadcast future”

Frontline is concentrating on repositioning the investigative show for a “post-broadcast future,” reporting and packaging information in a multiplatform, digital-centered way. “As we expand to a year-round series and publish on more platforms — print, broadcast, radio, online — it’s become a whole new game,’’ Executive Producer David Fanning told the Boston Globe in a story today (April 26). They’re working to retool the show’s content for devices like the iPad while breaking news 24/7. “Taking weeks or months to polish a story will no longer be the norm,” the paper noted.
