With the launch of our live news programs, we look forward to engaging with our viewers even more and making them part of our conversation,” added, Matt Goldberg, Vice President of Content Strategy, LX.
LX News will be presented by four new hosts from LX’s new state-of-the-art workspace and studio: Jobeth Devera, Ashley Holt, Tabitha Lipkin, and Nik Zecevic. Each news show showcases content from LX storytellers, who are embedded in their local communities and charged with creating and delivering compelling visual news stories about the places they live in and work.
