WCPN Sound of Ideas Now: What news stories do you want covered in 2009?


You can listen live now or by podcast or download later:

These days every news organization has to do more with less. So that makes the decision about what to cover, and how to cover it, more important than ever. So, we’d like to hear from you: what stories should we cover? On the next Sound of Ideas® we’ll be joined by editorial decision makers from The Plain Dealer, WKYC TV and ideastream&reg. We invite you to join us to talk about what direction all of our news coverage should take in 2009. We hope you’ll be there, Monday morning at nine on 90.3.

Guests

Susan Goldberg, Editor, The Plain Dealer
Rita Andolsen, News Director, WKYC TV
David Molpus, Executive Editor, ideastream®

I emailed in a question that Dan kindly read on the air and Ms. Andolsen was very enthusiastic about taking it up as something to cover. Here’s what I wrote that Dan read:

I would like to see our news outlets do a series on leadership, but not about the people currently in elected positions, corporate, non-profit or academic jobs, but rather an examination:

What does good leadership look like?

Where do we find and how do we support current and future leaders?

Let’s see what happens. Ms. Andolsen, I’ve got lots of time to chat. :)

Ahhh and laugh at myself. Sigh.

    Please don’t tell me you’re placing any hope at all in a local TV “news” operation taking a serious look at anything serious. That’s just not the line of work they’re in, I’m afraid.

    While I take no offense, Jill, at your offering a question like you did, this….

    “We invite you to join us to talk about what direction all of our news coverage should take in 2009.”

    ….doesn’t even seem like a legitimate question from, you know, journalists.

    It would seem to me that these locals are witnessing the slow erosion in popularity of their once monopolistic product….and are engaging with the unwashed out here to plug the holes in their sinking ship.

    But…then again…could be wrong.

    This is a blog. That is a headline at the top of this post. It’s supposed to tell people what’s in the entry. It does that well.
