Thursday Night Talks (TNT) again brings together an expert panel of speakers to engage in discussion about current issues.
The city of Hamilton has one major newspaper, several alternative papers, a half-dozen community weeklies, one network television station, one cable television station, and seven radio stations. Yet many feel their voices are not heard and that local issues do not receive the depth of coverage needed. What role should local media play in the community?
Terry Cooke will chair a panel including respected representatives from several media corporations on local and national fronts, as well as independent speakers from the worlds of arts and media, including confirmed participants Mike Katrycz, News Director, CHCH News, Ted Kennedy, Chief of Staff, CBC English Radio, Dave Kuruk, Founder and Editor of H Magazine, Tor Lukasik-Foss, artist and columnist, Ryan McGreal, Editor of Raise the Hammer, and Jim Poling, Managing Editor, News, the Hamilton Spectator.
Price: AGH Members $10.00 | Students/Seniors $12.00 | Non-Members $15.00 (optional exhibition tour at 6:00 pm included with T.N.T. ticket) It is recommended that you pre-register.
