Dulio Mariola, a producer at PBS Ch. 45&49 attended the BJ retirees luncheon on Wednesday at Papa’s Joe’s, to discuss a documentary on the Beacon Journal and John S. Knight. Maroila confirmed that the PBS station is interested in the project.
Mariola was introduced by Stuart Warner, former BJ managing editor who has agreed to be the liaison person to PBS.
Ideas for the documentary are being sought and efforts will be made to obtain a grant, possibly from the Knight Foundation, after content and budget decisions are made.
Information sources for the documentary are being sought. Audiotape from an interview of JSK, videos produced by Doug Oplinger, still and video photos from BJ photographers and the Beacon library and interviews with long-time employees are among ideas discussed.
If you have ideas for the documentary, they can be posted on this blog for all to consider. Just send your ideas in an e-mail to hliggett@ald.net. Or you can leave comments on this post or others.
Among those attending Wednesday’s lunch other than the regulars were Beacon Journal attorney Karen Lefton, retired art department chief Art Krummel, Charlene Nevada, Dave Boerner and Ott Gangl.
