NY Newsmagazine on gay, lesbian issues shutting down

New York, NY.  “In The Life”, a public television news magazine that focuses on issues regarding LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) content will be closing this December.

“In The Life” claims that they are the only national television program focusing on the “gay experience”.  They have been nominated for an Emmy (twice), a Webby, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Ribbon of Hope, the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association 2011 Excellence in HIV/AIDS Coverage, the 2006 Seigenthaler Award for excellence in network television and a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism-Newsmagazine.

According to the interim director Ellen Carton, funding is partly to blame for the closing down of the network.
