East Erie Satellite: Telling the News: From WSEE to BET to ABC News – One Man's Journey from Erie to D.C.

September 25th,2025 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Speaker: Michael  Allen

Whether reading a story in the newspaper, seeing a clip on the TV, or hearing a segment on the radio, readers, viewers, and listeners learn the names of the writers, reporters, and hosts to help share the news. But what about the editors, those working behind the scenes to help tell the stories that inform us from the local-level to the national and global events that shape our days? What goes into to shaping a 30-second clip, or a 3-minute segment from minutes, if not hours, of footage? Video Editor Michael Allen, who grew up in the lower eastside of Erie, Pennsylvania, will tell his journey from college to Erie's WSEE to ABC News in Washington, D.C., with an array of work in between. 

 

Location: ECAT: Erie Center for Arts and Technology – 650 East Ave., Ada Lawrence Community Room, Erie, PA 16503

Date/Time: Thursday, September 25, 7-8:30PM

Admission: FREE
