THE MEDIA BEAT WAS FIRST COMMISSIONED IN 2004 BY TRIBUNE NEWSPAPERS FROM JOURNALIST AND MEDIA CRITIC DAVID TERESHCHUK. IT RAN AS A WEEKLY FEATURE IN TRIBUNE’S NEW YORK CITY DAILY, ‘am new york’ UNTIL TERESHCHUK TOOK THE COLUMN ONLINE IN 2006. THIS WEB VERSION HAS CONTINUED EVER SINCE.

Tereshchuk’s media insights also appear at HuffPost”  . Since 2012 his frequent television reports on ethical issues have been broadcast on the PBS program Religion and Ethics Newsweekly and on the PBS Newshour.

A radio version of THE MEDIA BEAT appears every week on the NPR Connecticut station WHDD – live on Friday morning and rebroadcast over the weekend. THE MEDIA BEAT PODCASTS are available at iTunes and at WHDD’s On Demand
