Best of @MTVNews “Need To Know” – Week of Dec. 3rd, 2018
Each week, I’ll publish a roundup of my favorite MTV News “Need To Know” segments. *Spoiler Alert* The panel is at the top of that list for me! Be sure to follow @Dometi_ on Twitter so you never miss a segment.
To get you caught up, here’s how prominent Chicago media blogger, Robert Feder, describes the project:
“Dometi Pongo, the versatile newsman at Tribune Broadcasting news/talk WGN 720-AM, has another outlet for his talents. This week he debuted as host of“Need to Know,” a new Twitter Live video series produced by MTV News. Each morning Pongo offers a “deep dive” on a major story of the day and each afternoon he recaps the day’s top stories. His first report was a guide “through the good and bad of George H.W. Bush’s complicated legacy.” Pongo continues as a reporter and news anchor at WGN.”
