WVPBS Outlook to return- hope they run story on Spanish in WV
Beth Vorhees interviewing Luis Argeo in front of the La Belle Theater before its US premiere in May. WVPBS had already done one story since Chip Hitchock and other WVPBS staff worked on the film.
WVPBS’ weekly news magazine Outlook will be returning according to a published article in today’s Gazette. As I wrote on this blog earlier, it was canceled - and I wondered why? It’s their only regular WV news show, and it has run many great stories during the last few years including Russ Barbour’s great story on Robert Shogun visiting Blair Mountain for the first time after writing his book, “The Battle of Blair Mountain,” and airing Anna Sale’s great film about Don Blankenship, “The Kingmaker.”
Another two items of note are the Goldenseal linked stories and Bob Wilkinson’s great film on Storer College, “John Brown’s Body.” I know that Barbour has been working on a film about Gov. Marland. I applaud the decision by the WVPBS board to return it to the schedule. I sure hope they air their story on Luis Argeo’s wonderful film about Spanish zinc workers and coal miners moving from northern Spain to the Clarksburg area, “AsturiaUS.”
