Bill Kelly

About

Bill Kelly oversees the development, research, and writing of television documentaries and radio news reporting for NET Television and Radio, Nebraska’s public broadcasting service. The diverse list of topics Kelly pursued reflects his wide range of interests. Most recently programs focused on small, rural law enforcement agencies and, in 2019, the devastating floods in Nebraska. He has a special interest in covering the courts and criminal justice system. Three of his documentaries focused on the value and risks of high-tech crime scene investigation methods. Over the years he’s delved into the use of biocontainment facilities to treat Ebola patients, the impact of legalized marijuana on the region, the history of the death penalty, presidential politics in the 1960’s, the power and beauty of steam locomotives, a visit to modern-day Cuba, and the early, historic days of local television.
