Bob Wallace Still Entertains
While He Informs
("Community
Corner" segment at April 2001 PCC Monthly
Luncheon)
(An article about the panel
discussion from the luncheon--featuring crisis
communications experts--can be found here.)
By Sue Masaracchia
After 22 years with WBBM-TV
Channel 2 and "Two on Two," the
introductory luncheon speaker of the day, Bob
Wallace finds television a very different world
today from when he began doing his feature
stories.
Nine years ago he founded BW
Productions, making commercials and working with
the mayor's press office and cable 23 for the
city, hosting informational video productions
about city departments and special events, as
well as still freelancing -- including for WBBM-TV.
His shows are newsy in the styles of "Sixty
Minutes" and "Two on Two." He
left WBBM-TV to do different things.
Making newsy "documercials"
for a variety of corporate clients, he feels
that "Part of my job is to save clients
from themselves," said Wallace. "I've
learned a lot about diplomacy since my
reputation as a bull in the china shop. My shows
are believable and newsy and I get my point
across."
The Boston University
graduate and native of the East coast now has
his own website: www.bobwallace.com.
