Justin already spoke about this panel, and I don’t have too much more to add except for a few minor comments.
This panel focused on community radio in foreign countries, mostly England and New Zealand. From what I gathered, in England, the BBC has a good lock on radio. They are the government agency that owns [...]

Also, on April 15th, Justin and I attended a panel on “The State of The Industry.” The members of the panel did some research on how things are in the journalism / broadcast industry. Their findings were somewhat interesting, and the panel raised a few good points.
First, the bad news is, it still seems that [...]
