One of the most interesting stories on television this year won’t appear on any one network or hit show, but in our homes and among the growing array of devices that help us all lead and enjoy our modern, connected lives. As the fall television season gets underway, the impact of DVRs and other emerging technologies are top-of-mind for content producers, advertisers, studios and cable networks. Consumer media habits are rapidly evolving, challenging the business models that have shaped television for decades. The year ahead should provide some noteworthy insights into what comes next. ...

Last year, JHRTS hosted an enormously successful holiday party, allowing us to donate over $20,000 to the Young Storytellers' Foundation, a charity that offers a means of self-expression to children at a time when public schools have dwindling opportunities for artistic and creative activities. ...

By Dave Ferrara, HRTS Executive Director
a constant reminder of just what kind of mark an individual can make in the world around them. I have leaned on him for historical perspective and objective viewpoints and his support, friendship and encouragement have been invaluable and greatly appreciated.
