NYTimes on WNET's Shapiro: He's not shy

WNET's new president Neal Shapiro, who came from NBC News, "hasn't been shy about putting his at times unorthodox stamp on WNET and his own team in place," write Elizabeth Jensen in a New York Times article about his first year at the station. "Four of the station's top executives have left," and Shapiro says a coming restructuring of staff may lead to "change behind the scenes." The story highlights his focus on local documentary, online video, and a new arts program with him as host. "Mr. Shapiro said he was reveling in no longer chasing Britney Spears interviews and in having an educational department to work with," writes Jensen, "but he acknowledged that he found the pace at his new employer slow. 'One of the things that I think I can bring here is to try to make us a little more nimble,' he said."
