[Chat] The Future of Public Radio in Baltimore, featuring Marc Steiner Feb. 6, 2008 6-8 PM in Charles Village

[Kevin Zeese]

With the Baltimore Examiner closing, the Sun under pressure and media in a
moment of transformation, the forum below is timely.  In addition to hosting
a talk show on WEAA, Steiner works with the Center for Emerging Media
(http://www.centerforemergingmedia.org/) so he has a well-informed
perspective on the changes taking place in media nationally, and in
Baltimore.
