Why do so many local business stories go untold, and how does the media landscape impact regional commerce?

In this episode of the Turn One Studio Podcast, host Eliud Custodio sits down with Peter Shields, Founder and CEO of Island Edge Business News. With more than 26 years of broadcast and reporting experience across Long Island, including executive leadership at News 12, Peter breaks down the evolving state of regional journalism and why dedicated business intelligence is vital for Long Island.

Eliud and Peter explore why legacy local media often overlooks the operational realities of private enterprise, what prompted the launch of Island Edge Business News, and how executives can cut through digital noise to build genuine credibility across Nassau and Suffolk County.

Key discussion points in this episode:

• The transition from legacy television production to independent digital reporting.

• Why local B2B journalism directly impacts regional economic development.

• How Long Island business leaders and non-profits can effectively frame their stories for maximum public trust.

• The critical role of industry-specific coverage for Nassau and Suffolk employers.
