Jim Russell
Jim Russell was one of the first reporter/producers hired for the
start-up of National Public Radio in 1971. He was the Executive
Producer of NPR's landmark news program All Things Considered, and
helped conceive Morning Edition. During a ten-year stint in
television, he led Twin Cities Public Television through a remarkable
programming renaissance. His creation was the weekly PBS science
program, Newton's Apple, for which he won a national television Emmy
Award. In 1989, Russell created Marketplace, the most successful
business program on radio or television in the United States, now
attracting more than 8 million listeners every week. He has created
programs for NPR, PRI (Public Radio International) and American
Public Media including The World and Weekend America. In 2006, Russell
hung out his own shingle, launching Jim Russell Productions,
"The Program Doctor".
Through this Chapel Hill, NC business, he consults with networks,
stations and producers on the development of new programs and on "fixing" existing shows.
