A group of local media business specialists will explore “The future of local journalism” in a panel discussion at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden, downtown Brattleboro, on Thursday, Sept. 24 at noon.
The event is part of the daily Brown Bag Lunch events presented by Strolling of the Heifers, and is the second annual panel discussion on local journalism in the series.
Participants include Ed Woods, CEO of New England Newspapers, Inc. and publisher of the Reformer, Randy Holhut, deputy editor of The Commons, Kevin Moran, group editor for New England Newspapers, Roland Boyden, production manager of Brattleboro Community Television, and Martin Langeveld, retired newspaper executive and media blogger.
The panel will focus on how the delivery and format of local journalism is evolving as traditional news media such as newspapers, radio and television are challenged by new formats such as social media, blogging and podcasting.
The event is free and open to the public, and public questions and comments will be welcomed.
