Presentation Description: American Journalism At A Crossroads: The Future Is Now

American journalism is at a crossroads. We live in an era where we are seeing daily newspapers, long the bastion of local independent reporting and accountability, failing in Colorado and around the country. At the same time, broadcast newsrooms are shrinking as well. Fewer traditional journalists are reporting less news. Independent reporting that is so critical as a source of information, analysis, understanding, and particularly local community knowledge has been seriously diminished.

What role will Public Radio play in this changing landscape?

POLIO PLUS ALMOST THERE

     Thanks you one and all for your generous giving.  Sixteen members added to the campaign last Wednesday including Heidi Resetarits, our Ambassadorial Scholar. 

Awards Update:

Geoff Noble has been working with Pat Gorman-Barry on an awards write up for the "Helping Hands" Award. This award recognizes the best club project targeting children at-risk from pre-school through high school. Pat has written up a narrative application documenting our work with the BrainWise curriculum that has been converted into a computer based Confidence-Based Learning (CBL) model in use at Colorado High School Charter. Last  Wednesday, after our Rotary breakfast, Geoff went with Pat and photographed the instructor and students.  NOW WE NEED SOME HELP. Is there a DMH Rotarian (or possibly a son or daughter of a Rotarian) who could help Pat convert these digital images into a collage, suitable for electronic submission along with our award application?  If you can help, please contact Pat at  pgbarry@brainwise-plc.org or by telephone at (303) 358-5553.  THANKS!
