William Deane

Drawing from 30 years’ experience in broadcast journalism, including jobs as News Assignment Editor and Writer for ABC News and CBS News, William Deane established his own venture, Our Missing News. A versatile daily blog, Our Missing News offers readers the full truth concerning our most important issues. Because the site accepts no corporate sponsorship, Our Missing News does not hesitate to present aspects of stories larger institutions might be tempted to avoid. Committed to providing journalism lacking any partisan influence, Our Missing News works from a foundation of objectivity. In recent weeks, OurMissingNews.com reported on important events including negotiations surrounding the U.S. debt ceiling, the tabloid scandal involving Rupert Murdoch, drones saving American military lives, and the rising fatality rates from misuse of some prescription drugs. OurMissingNews.com also functions as a compelling forum where visitors can comment and discuss topics of interest. An accomplished journalist, William Deane of Our Missing News holds a number of honors for his dogged pursuit of the facts, among them an Edward R. Murrow Award, a jointly received Peabody Award, and a Society of Professional Journalism Award for Best Coverage of a Major Breaking News Event. Outside of his engagement with Our Missing News, William Deane stays involved with the industry through membership with The New York Press Club, Inc.; the Society of Professional Journalists; and the Radio Television Digital News Association. He holds a Master of Science in Television from Syracuse University and frequently addresses audiences with his current presentation, “The News and Why We Are Not Getting It.”
