At the end of 2009, my company Crumlic News Services evolved to become Crumlic Media. While news is still an important element of Crumlic Media, I have expanded into commercial video production and documentary film. On point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba has been released on DVD (available at the film's site and through Amazon.com) and I am in development of my next documentary and working with various corporate, commercial and art related projects.
I taught myself: Was working as a Philadelphia market television traffic reporter when a client station recruited me for management as the Chief Assignment Editor in the news department. After five and a half years I felt the need to get out in the field while I was still young enough to be out chasing fires, accidents and shooting and started my own freelance news business serving my former employer and every network station in the Philly market plus several other market stations.
My better half wanted to move to NYC in 2006 so we uprooted the news business and moved. In NYC the business started to evolve to serve more production oriented clients. I still return to my former full- time news employer as a part-time fill in videogrpaher and assignment editor.
