Claman on the “Menu”: “Our Industry…is Under Massive Assault”

Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman joined us this morning on the mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu podcast.

With the economy affecting many industries, Claman said the media is no exception. “Our industry, whether it’s print or electronic media, is under massive assault,” she says.

She describes one of the strategies of Fox Business Network as it navigates the financial crisis coverage.

“It’s also very important, I think, to make sure you talk to the people out there versus just pontificating or pulling off the headlines,” says Claman.

Also discussed: how media professionals can prepare for the potential of losing their jobs, whether the economy will turn around in ’09 and more.
