Our founder, President, and Executive Producer is Greg Dobbs, and his resume reads like an entry in Who's Who in America (where you can find his listing, by the way). He was a producer, then a correspondent for 23 years with ABC News, where he won two national Emmy awards, the Distinguished Service Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, and a host of other honors. (But don't worry, his award-winning ways haven't stopped. Since serving clients like you, he has continued to win prizes, like the Gold Pik from the Public Relations Society of America.)
For World News Tonight, Good Morning America, Nightline, 20/20 and other ABC programs, Greg covered stories in more than 60 countries and in 49 states (he has never set foot in Rhode Island, as a favor to an already crowded little state). His range of experience? From the Exxon Valdez oil spill to the San Francisco earthquake, the execution of Gary Gilmore, the Watergate hearings, the Indian occupation of Wounded Knee, plus countless political campaigns, presidential conventions, and features on modern management, health care, transportation, technology, and everything else under the sun.

Overseas, he covered the hot spots when they were truly hot: the Gulf War (in Saudi Arabia, at the Pentagon, and at the United Nations); the revolution and then the occupation of the U.S. Embassy in Iran; the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan; the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt; the civil war in and the ejection of the P.L.O. from Beirut; the Iran-Iraq war; the rise of the Solidarity trade union and imposition of martial law in Poland; the evolution of leadership in the former Soviet Union; the civil war and deaths of I.R.A. hunger-strikers in Northern Ireland; the civil war in Rhodesia; the American bombing of Libya; the drug wars in Colombia; the ouster of Idi Amin from Uganda; the assassination of Anwar Sadat in Egypt; the deaths of popes; and last but not least, the ill-fated Royal Wedding of Charles and Diana in England. (So, if you have a wedding video in mind, maybe you'll want to hire someone else!)
In short, Greg has been around. More important, he will put all that experience to work on your video! Planning? Writing? Producing? Nothing is produced by NEWSlike Productions, no matter how large or small, without at least his imprint and usually his full-time, personal involvement.
