Microspace Communications’ Expert
Resource Network Links Broadcasters to Thousands of New
Experts
Network Includes Subject Matter Experts from Top-Tier Universities
and Leading Corporations
Raleigh, NC – May
30, 2007 – Microspace
Communications
Corporation (Microspace), a leading satellite services
provider, today announced that its Expert Resource
Network
(ERN) has expanded significantly to include thousands of
experts from leading universities and corporations.
ERN enables broadcast and cable networks seeking subject
matter experts to connect remotely, via satellite or fiber
feeds, with corporate executives and faculty at top universities
such as Duke, Wake Forest, North Carolina State University
and campuses of the University of North Carolina system.
“We’re thrilled with the growth of the Expert
Resource Network,” said Joe Amor, Microspace general
manager. “We launched the network as a one-stop-shop
for national broadcasters to secure expert resources,
and it’s grown into one of the most extensive networks
available
to
media and continues to expand.”
When Anthony Atala, M.D., a leading
stem
cell researcher and director of the Institute for Regenerative
Medicine
at
Wake
Forest University Baptist Medical Center, announced the
discovery
of a new, readily available source of stem
cells,
national
news networks including NBC, CBS and Fox News used ERN
and Microspace’s satellite services
to
secure
on-air expert briefings.
Thousands of subject matter experts
in
financial services, medicine, politics, environmental
protection, and economic
and
social
development, among other fields, are now available through
ERN.
In addition to those previously mentioned, other
participating
institutions include Duke Medical Center,
East
Carolina University and Medical Center, Elon University
and North
Carolina A &T State University.
Used by news outlets such as Fox News, Bloomberg, CNN,
ABC and MSNBC, ERN is a time-saving and cost-efficient
service that streamlines the liveshot production process
for news producers in media markets nationwide. To locate
and secure a subject matter expert, visit the ERN portal
