Coloradoan Executive Editor David Dishman will share a little bit about the mission of the Coloradoan and how the role of a local newspaper has changed over the years. He will talk about coverage priorities, how to alert him and his staff to news ideas, ways in which businesses can be involved in the modern news model and more.
He is also more than willing to answer any questions someone might have about the industry and how it is changing and where it is going. A fair amount of time will be dedicated to Q&A and audience participation is very much encouraged in the presentation.
