I am a retired broadcast journalism professor with 40+ years in the field of tv news and I’m pleading with Gov. Christie “Please do not sell out NJN, one of the best PBS stations in the country. It’s something that you, as a leader of this great state, should cherish with pride.” If we lose NJN, we are telling the rest of the country that the state of New Jersey just doesn’t care about culture, documentaries and thorough unbiased news coverage. We don’t want “Jersey Shore”,
“NJ Housewives” and “The Sopranos” to define the State of New Jersey.
