About Laskin Media Inc.
CELEBRATING A CAREER OF EXCELLENCE IN TV REPORTING AND COMMUNICATION TRAINING
Laskin Media was founded on the belief that “GREAT COMMUNICATORS AREN’T BORN, THEY’RE MADE.”
With proven techniques and the proper training, anybody can overcome his or her fear of public speaking and learn how to communicate with power and persuasion. It’s all a matter of training—the RIGHT training.
The Company was founded by Barbara Laskin, an award-winning TV anchor and reporter and nationally-known media trainer, public speaker, and communications consultant.
She began her career as a researcher and producer at CTV-TV in her native Canada. Later, she became an on-air reporter at CBC-TV, and City-TV.
Moving to Stamford, Connecticut, she was part of the first anchor team to host a 24-hour news channel—SNC—which preceded CNN by a year. Ms. Laskin then worked at WNYW-TV, Fox’s flagship station in New York City, as an anchor and reporter. She covered important news events, interviewed major newsmakers, and produced Award-winning prime-time news specials. The recipient of many broadcasting awards—including a Gold Medal by the International Film and TV Festival, a Folio and Angel Award, the Award of recognition from American Women in Radio and Television, Barbara capped her career by winning an Emmy Award for producing, writing and starring in the best Issues-oriented documentary of the year, entitled, “Scared to Death.” Ms. Laskin was a frequent contributor to the New York Daily News and other publications on communication issues and critiqued the debate performances of the presidential candidates in past elections. She appeared on TV shows and wrote articles for many magazines.
As an entrepreneur, Ms. Laskin supports the aspirations of fellow business owners and was a Board member of NAWBO-NYC, the National Association of Women Business Owners—New York Chapter. For her long time-efforts, she was awarded NAWBO’s Spirit of New York Award.
It was during her long and distinguished broadcasting career that Barbara noticed something obvious: those who communicated the best got the most air time. When she founded Laskin Media, she knew exactly what she wanted the company to do and how to do it.
