Moderated by Ray Gonzales, former Channel 5 KTLA Host
Featuring Panelists Joe Mathews, Ted Johnson and Ron Kaye

Traditional Media continues to be battered with cuts and layoffs and concerns arise over whether the surviving staffs can meet the challenge of covering the dramatic stories of our times—healthcare, politics, the economy, the water crisis, etc.—or whether New Media is filling the void. Join Coro for this special panel discussion with some local journalists and influencers. Hear from those in the trenches as well as some who have made the transition.

WHERE - 1000 N. Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA (Parking is hosted; enter off of Main Street; Union Station is 2 blocks away for Metro riders)

HOW - Seats are still available if you want to attend; please RSVP to Edward Headington at eheadington@coro.org. It is also okay to invite colleagues and peers so long as they RSVP and we have space available (Audience limit - 25) .

FYI - This is a free and open public forum sponsored by Health Net, Inc. A light breakfast (of yogurt, granola, bagels and fruit) and coffee/juice will be served.
