Talk:NY1 (TV Station)

The following was originally posted to the NY1 SourceWatch page:


 * According to the website of CeeLite, a Pennsylvania-based company which says it is the first "to manufacture and market commercially-viable Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) technology and Flatline Inverter," NY1 aired one of its VNRs. The VNR aired on March 8, 2006, according to the site.

In addition to being listed as a video news release on the CeeLite website, the NY1 segment is also identified as a VNR on the i-associates.net website. 

However, on December 19, 2006, NY1 general manager Steve Paulus emailed SourceWatch editor Bob Burton, stating: "The CeeLite website is incorrect. The story (you should watch it) was shot entirely by NY1 Technology reporter Adam Balkin at a light bulb symposium in Manhattan.  He didn t use any handout video.  All of the interviews were conducted at the symposium and all of the b-roll was shot at the same time. I called the PR person at Ceelite (Gabrielle Santulli) and left a message asking that they clarify the clip on the website to indicate that it ISN T a VNR."

As of December 20, 2006, the CeeLite website no longer identified the segment as a VNR.
