Monmouth County launches TV program Monmouth County is hitting the airwaves with a monthly televised program designed to bring the county's many governmental services directly to residents. Titled "Monmouth In Focus," the show is a televised companion to the county newsletter of the same name and is hosted by Cynthia Scott, a former News 12 reporter now employed by the county. The show will air on local access channels throughout Monmouth County. "This is a wonderful opportunity to bring the county's services directly into the living rooms of our residents," Freeholder Director Lillian G. Burry said in a press release. "We have seen activity on the county's Web site increasing, and the newsletter that was mailed last summer was very well received," Burry said. "The television program will cap an aggressive effort to better communicate with residents about county services." The show is a half-hour program with two 12-minute segments. Each segment features a different aspect of county gov- ernment. Shows have already been produced about the county budget, the library system, the parks and a general overview of the functions of county government, according to the press release. Future shows will feature the Reclamation Center, Social Services and economic development, to name a few, the release states. "Television is a great medium to get the county's message out," William K. Heine, director of the county's Department of Public Information, said in the release. "There are many good government programs available inMonmouth County and it is incumbent upon us to make residents aware of them," Heine said. "The TV show will bolster communications efforts that have seen improvements to the county Web site, the county newsletter, the county directory and in the department's news releases." Students enrolled in the television production classes produce the show at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft.
