INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Jeremy Murphy.

Price and Murphy discuss the demise of the diversity program at CNN.  Jeremy Murphy, who is a former VP at CBS TV brings the kind of perspective that only a major media executive can bring to our conversation. He is a recurring guest on the nationally syndicated Price of Business show.
The NY Post reports “CNN quietly disbanded its ‘Race and Equality’ team of reporters as part of a major restructuring that included firing 100 staffers this week, according to a report.
“There were three reporters that made up the unit, which was created by former CNN president Jeff Zucker in the aftermath of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020.
“One of the journalists was fired while the other two were reassigned to other departments, according to a newsletter written by black journalist Phil Lewis.”

According to a statement, “Jeremy Murphy is a sarcastic, embittered veteran of the media industry. Founder of 360bespoke, a respected boutique PR agency in New York, Murphy handles a full roster of clients in the lifestyle, beauty, fashion, and start-up fields. Previously, he was Vice President of Communications at CBS, where he worked for 14 years. There, he oversaw PR for many of its divisions and created its glossy magazine Watch. Murphy started as a journalist, working with Knight Ridder newspapers and Mediaweek. He is a graduate of Florida Atlantic University and lives in New York with his cat, Champers.”
