ICYMI: ‘Boss lady’ soledadobrien is keeping her journalism peers in line
Journalists who have thin skin might want to think twice about reading Soledad O’Brien’s Twitter feed.
Since leaving CNN in 2013 after her contract was not renewed, O’Brien has run her own eponymous company, where she creates documentaries, specials and podcasts, and offers her services as an on-air talent . While that effort is still a work in progress, O’Brien’s candor hasn’t deterred her from tapping into the increased demand for nonfiction programming across cable networks and streaming services. She has a documentary series in the works at HBO, projects pending at other networks and will soon launch a limited true crime podcast for Luminary.
The main driver in O’Brien’s recent career path has been the ability to focus on topics she cares about and not have to follow the dictates of ratings-driven TV news executives. She noted that her latest documentary feature, “Hungry to Learn,” about food insecurity among debt-ridden college students, is the type of subject executives would dismiss as “too earnest.” The film, scheduled to debut at the since-canceled South By Southwest Film Festival, will be distributed for educational use.
