Category: Action, Appreciation, AwarenessOn Thursday, May 21st 2009, IFC brought together one of the country's top investigative reporters with Chicago's media leaders to delve into the sustainability and future of journalism in the Windy City. In a rare event, the top editors of both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times appeared together to discuss what lies ahead for the two bankrupt newspapers. The event took place at the Newbury Library in downtown Chicago.
The panel included legendary investigative reporter Carl Bernstein, Chicago Sun Times Editor-In-Cheif Donald Hayner, Chicago Tribune Editor-In-Chief Gerould Kern, NBC Political Correspondent Carol Marin, WBBM-TV CBS News Director & Vice-President Jeff A. Kiernan, Chicagoist.com Editor Marcus Gilmer, RedEye and TheMash Editor Tran Ha. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan delivered the opening remarks.
This event was held in conjunction with "The IFC Media Project" airing Sundays at 11PM ET/PT on IFC - a documentary series that draws back the curtain on news coverage and seeks to uncover the truth behind the news.
The stage is set.
