Over the past several decades, news has been predominately packaged for and distributed via radio, newspapers, TV and now the web. Whoever controlled the information, controlled the message. In turn, the majority of us received our information from a handful of major media outlets. However recent technological advances online (blogs, video, social networking, etc.) have made it such that both the creation and consumption of news and information is no longer at the sole discretion of these institutions alone.

As the world turns…
With globalization and the dawning of 24-hour news networks, we now live in an ever more interconnected world. BIG media helps us glimpse into the lives of others miles away from home, but what about the people and places next door? What about our your local community? Join us on Tuesday, October 27th as we take a look at the The Future of Local Journalism and it’s impact on the distribution and consumption of local media.
