Media / Conflict of Interest Forum on the Future of News Tonight

Posted by Erica C. Barnett on Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 10:42 AM

I'll be taking part in a panel discussion about the future of the news media tonight at the 43rd District Democrats' meeting in the University District. We'll be talking about how the news media got to this point, what it means to be a one-newspaper town, and whether cuts in the newsroom impact the quality of local news reporting. The forum starts at 8:00 in room 209 of the University Heights Community Center, 5031 University Way NE.

Sounds fun.

How come we can't have a Three Newspaper Town?

At least they're not robbing UW frat boys, @3.

Or banks.
