An award-winning independent documentary filmmaker, he educates and mentors students at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism. His PBS documentary credits include Sports for Sale, First Things First, One Plus One, and net.LEARNING. An innovative television journalist, he was a Founding Producer of The MacNeil/Lehrer Report; Executive Producer of Listening to America with Bill Moyers; and a producer-writer for CBS Sunday Morning & CBS Sixty Minutes. As an educator, he also has taught at NYU and Dartmouth and created a documentary film series at Columbia. The Daily News called the subject of his film Sid at 90 the “undisputed star” of the 2003 New York Jewish Film Festival. Weinberg also has served as on-camera host and narrator for his documentary Ethics in Sports – a CBS Religion Special broadcast nationally on CBS television stations. As a talent developer, he discovered Rose Ann Scamardella for WABC-TV Eyewitness News in New York. He is president-emeritus of The New York Film/Video Council, a non-profit serving the independent media community.
