We have fun, too

David Sommerstein and I got back last week from the annual conference of Public Radio News Directors, Inc. (PRNDI), where we learned ALL about everything. Really, the agenda was deep, lots of things to absorb about the future of news, particularly the growing importance of local radio journalism, better coordination among all the beanches of the public radio tree, and “multi-platforming” — otherwise known as doing everything you do except now for web, Facebook, twitter, etc. etc. too.
The entire news team won an award for best continuing coverage among stations our size for “The Impact of War…at Home.” David also picked up a PRNDI award for best enterprise/investigative story for a piece on windpower questions.
Yes, the news team works hard! But we have our lighter moments, as you probably know. Here’s one from a PRNDI friend…from the reception after all the hard thinking was done.
