About Joanne Stevens
Joanne has been helping television and radio journalists craft their skills in writing, reporting, anchoring and interviewing since 1980. She was motivated to develop her TV consulting business when the Viet Nam War ended.. and glib reporting permeated the news. Worrying that this encroachment threatened the quality of journalism - as well as her sense of humor- Joanne scrambled to create Stevens Media Consulting, Ltd.

The subsequent proliferation of TV channels and their promise of timely, pertinent information forced the industry to turn to outside experts for content. Joanne’s client base expanded to include print journalists and professionals who were approached for TV and radio interviews. Today her clients include network and local tv/radio journalists.. tv hosts and niche program talent.. newspaper/magazine editors and reporters.. business professionals.. webcast contributors.. essentially anyone who provides information on tv, radio, or the internet.

Joanne holds a B.A. in Communications and an M.S. in Speech/Language Pathology. She’s been an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, and she’s taught courses in Broadcast Journalism at the School of Visual Arts and at New York University’s School of Continuing Education. Joanne has also served as special lecturer on the Media at NYU’s Stern Graduate School of Business. She is a member of the New York Press Club and serves as an awards judge in Television News.
