Weekly Newspaper Podcast -- it's all about community journalism
The Weekly Newspaper Podcast is sponsored by Upstate New York's Journal & Press newspaper and Campus News College Paper, hosted by Darren Johnson, publisher and Journalism professor. Dissecting this local newspaper will be a starting point to talk about larger trends with small-town and college journalism. Perhaps we'll figure out how to save these newspapers, which mean so much to their readers and local history. At times serious, at times lighthearted, you'll enjoy this podcast.
