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.

How come we can’t have a Three Newspaper Town?
Who else is on the panel, Erica? Do you know?
will the sad story of the bleak economy, the stress it has caused and how it has turned journalists into alcohol fueled shoplifters be explored?????
