“Hear Me Out is a twice-monthly video series that takes a letter to the editor and turns it into a video that digs deeper and gets more personal that the traditional feature allows.”
. Foshay, who previously worked at PBS, NBC and CBS, has always been a fan of letters to the editor, she said, and used them as inspiration for past projects.Last March, former editorial page editor Sewell Chan shared a pilot video from Foshay and L.A. Times Studios’ executive producer Jamie Novogrod.“Over the years as a lot of other newsrooms have, there have been more cuts than additions and that affects our ability to do just about anything,” he said.
“I think what the videos do is they allow the letter writer to expand on their experience beyond 200 or 300 words,” Foshay said. “You get to meet the person and hopefully you see a little of the human behind their story and their experience, and you might understand where they’re coming from.”Filming to production takes about seven days, Foshay said. The trick is letting the letter writer tell their story.
Thornton has been at the Times since 2005, and “it’s been a 16 year long existential crisis” trying to figure out how to draw in readers and what works.
