NATAS CHICAGO/MIDWEST CHAPTER PRESENTS

Chicago’s Television News Bosses - Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2007

Moderated by Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune Internet Critic (& former TV Critic)

We’re a long way from the newscasts of Bill and Walter: Podcasts, Webcasts, DVRs, VOD, blogs... and increasing competition from hundreds of new channels and websites. How are Chicago's newsrooms weathering the winds of tumultuous technological change? How are television news jobs changing? What’s the impact on local journalism? And what’s the next big thing?
