Morning Media Menu

January 15, 2009: Today we’re joined by NBC News legal correspondent Dan Abrams, who’s also founder and CEO of Abrams Research, a media-strategy firm that connects business leaders with media professionals (read: freelancers) worldwide.

Dan will discuss recent media-industry headlines, as well as the role his firm – whose advisory board includes Bob Wright, former chairman of NBC Universal, Bonnie Fuller, CEO of Bonnie Fuller Media, Kevin Reilly, president of Fox Enter- tainment, and Steven Brill, founder of Court TV – is playing within the current (and, yes, bleak) media environment.

"How we structure this business is really what makes it unique," Dan tells us about Abrams Research.

"We have all these freelancers, all over the world – in very particular specialties – who are available to businesses to consult on a whole range of issues."
