Last Saturday, February 21, 2009, I was on a panel entitled: The Future of Public Media News: A Vision and A Plan at the Integrated Media Association’s Public Media Conference in Atlanta. There is lots of good information.

You can first hear Kinsey Wilson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NPR Digital Media, talk about where NPR is heading,  and then me making my pitch on how to turn PBS into a News Powerhouse. Each of us makes a five minute pitch. The full panel discussion lasts for about 90 minutes.  You can listen to this MP3 file: Future of Public Media News.

Or for a more controllable audio platform go to Bill Densmore’s site, he made the audio tape.  I think a video was also made. We will let you know when that is available.  The full panel included:

Moderator: Julie Philipp, Managing Editor, WXXI Center for Public Affairs Panelists: John Barth, Managing Director; PRX; Mike Bauhof, Manager, Online Communications at KETC; Susanna Capelouto, News Director, Georgia Public Broadcasting (Radio); Jessica Clark, Director, Future of Public Media project at the Center for Social Media, American University School of Communication; Robert Rosenthal, Executive Director, The Center for Investigative Reporting; Anna Shoup, Local/National Editor at the Online Newshour; Kinsey Wilson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, NPR Digital Media; Leonard Witt, Distinguished Chair in Communication and executive director of the Center for Sustainable Journalism at Kennesaw State University, Blogger, PJNet .
