Award winning journalist Ron Fineman, is available to speak On The Record about his Five Points of Good Journalism and other important aspects of reporting from the field and in the studio. Ron brings his vast experience into his presentations to comment on, and point out, the pitfalls of modern day journalism and how to avoid them… including the dreaded “Broadcasteze”.
Ron uses his wit and blunt analysis to enlighten the up-and-coming journalist and the seasoned professional in ways to convey and improve individual and overall coverage of the news on radio and television, which today, is often marred as exaggerated and falls prey to sensationalism.
Whether it is in the classroom, a guest on local programming, or emcee at your journalism event, Ron Fineman SPEAKS On The Record in a way that is fresh and long overdue in modern journalism.

“Ron Fineman holds a mirror to the media and the reflection is pointed, on the mark, and very often, very funny. As a worker in the broadcast news biz, he knows what he's talking about and he should get a Nobel prize for his attempts to eradicate the dreaded news cliché.”
Steve Edwards - LA News Veteran - Anchor Good Day LA, Fox 11, Los Angeles
“Ron probably does more thoughtful commentaries than any other Los Angeles reporter… Radio and television stations rarely do the sort of critical review that Ron routinely does… Top notch stuff. The biggest benefit, I think, is to tweak his media colleagues to get them to think more about what they are doing. ... every little bit helps.”
Mike Daniels - Broadcast Journalism Teacher Loyola Marymount - Former Producer KCBS TV
“...He's often right on the money with pointed comments about our business -- our successes and our failures. He sometimes makes observations which should, at the very least, provoke thought and analysis that could change how we operate.”
Larry Perret - News Director KCOP Los Angeles
