WEDS. OCT 7- 11AM: MINNESOTA MEDIA: Mainstream No More?
Minnesota's media landscape continues to shift-and not so glacially as generationally. Aging boomers cling to the printed word, some news and talk sources and the 10 o'clock news as younger consumers increasingly get their news and information from their computers and cell phones - when they care to find it at all. The Twin Cities dailies slipped away from reliably family-owned newspapers to never-satisfied Wall-Street controlled profit centers. Meanwhile, alternative outlets, some broadcast, some online are filling the vacuum in local and regional news coverages and blogs have replaced print columnists as opinion-makers.
TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN toss around past, present and future upheavals in Twin Cities and Minnesota media with four seasoned writers and producers in local and national journalism, themselves having been tossed about by the volatile industry they and their readers relied on for a stable sources of news and information we all need to govern ourselves. Now what?
