Talking about journalism and civic engagement

Last Tuesday I moderated a panel at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester on “The Role of the Media in Civic Life,” sponsored by the Worcester Regional Research Bureau.

We all had the opportunity to hear from some really smart and interesting people: Jim Normandin, publisher of the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester; Walter Bird Jr., the editor of Worcester Magazine; Andy Lacombe of Charter TV3 News; and Jordan Levy, a former Worcester politico who’s now the host of a talk show on WTAG Radio.

In case you’d like to see what you missed, I’ve posted the video.
