Advocate premieres The Advocate On-Air

The Advocate, the world’s leading gay news source, announces the premiere of its new television newsmagazine, The Advocate On-Air. The first installment is currently available on Advocate.com.

“The Advocate remains committed to leading the conversation on issues important to gay people,” said Editorial Director Jon Barrett. “The Advocate On-Air expands the reach of the growing Advocate brand by engaging new consumers. We are thrilled to have esteemed newsman Thomas Roberts hosting this exciting new program.”

Like the 42-year-old print publication, The Advocate On-Air is dedicated to examining current news, politics, lifestyle, and cultural trends. Veteran news correspondent Thomas Roberts hosts the inaugural episode, and The Advocate’s Editorial Director, Jon Barrett, offers his particular thoughts in a special segment called “I Advocate.” Additionally, contributing journalists will lend expert commentary and opinion.
