Changing Media Industry - A Lunchtime Chat




The media industry has been in a state of flux over the past few years. Consolidation, job cuts and financial losses have taken a heavy toll.

Some experts say that nearly 300 newspapers folded in 2009, as did eight magazines with 1million or more circulation, while several radio and TV companies filed for bankruptcy protection.


What does it all mean, and where is the media industry headed?


Veteran journalist Mike Tierney will talk about that and more on Monday, March 15 from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. in room 210 at the UCC.

Bring or buy your lunch as you listen to and share your thoughts with Mike, a University of Kentucky graduate who worked at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for 21 years as sports editor, Olympics editor, columnist and business reporter. He's also written for the New York Times and other major publications and served as an adjunct professor at Georgia State University.
