dolan [at] smartrecruit.com
As President of Dolan Media Management, Tom Dolan has developed a unique management recruitment firm for TV news and promotion. Based in suburban Washington, DC, the company builds management teams for TV stations, capitalizing on Tom’s 25 years of news experience and eight-plus years as a news consultant and executive recruiter.
Previously, Tom had been Vice-President of News & Talent Development for the Texas based Broadcast Image Group from 1996 to 1999. Consultant for a select group of TV stations, he also spearheaded the company's management recruitment division for TV news and promotion. He helped develop an advanced database for managers and producers, placing some 100 candidates in client stations during the three years.
Prior to his consulting career, Tom served as Vice-President of News at KSAZ-TV in Phoenix. In addition, Tom spent some twenty years with ABC owned stations in Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago. Tom served as Managing Editor, Assistant News Director and News Director at WLS-TV in Chicago for more than nine years before moving to Phoenix.
During his three years at KSAZ-TV, Tom led the station through one of the most challenging news expansion and affiliation switches following the station's transition to the FOX network.
ABC hired Tom as a key member of a group that completely rebuilt the news operation at WLS-TV in Chicago from last to first place during the 1980's. In those nine plus years, he was involved in the expansion of news programming from three programs per day to six and designed the format for one of the first hour long AM newscasts.
Tom continues to produce cutting-edge workshops at national conventions like RTNDA, IRE, PROMAX and UNITY. He has also done many workshops at client stations on industry trends, News formatting and the News/Marketing-Promotion relationship to ensure that new managers get an effective start.
Active in minority journalist organizations since the early 80's, Tom has promoted diversity in his newsrooms and continues to make it part of his recruiting and consulting practice.
Tom has won both Associated Press and Emmy awards for his news programs. Tom lives in Frederick, MD with his wife, Jeanne, and their two children.
