Faubell Drives News Tech

摘要

Though vice president of engineering for one of the country's largest station groups, Marty Faubell spends a lot of time thinking local. That's because 24 of the 27 stations that Hearst-Argyle Television owns or manages produce local newscasts, and Faubell has been a pioneer in using technology to make their news operations more competitive and cost-effective. "Hearst-Argyle as a station group is committed to news, from Platts-burgh [N.Y.] all the way to Honolulu," says Faubell, 47. "News is a local business. What we're doing is try to be aggressive in using technology, and we've done a number of things to push that agenda along."
