Future Of Radio : Panel Discussion with Radio Veterans

Note : since this is a new meetup group, the attendee count here on meetup.com doesn't reflect total attendees. we are expecting a strong turnout.

Today all journalists, regardless of their chosen medium, are confronted with changing tools, audiences, and an ever-shifting media landscape. In our first San Francisco meet-up, we'll take a look at how the radio industry has addressed these challenges in the past and how it can take advantage of innovation in the future.

Join us for an evening of lively discussion, as some of the Bay Area's most respected radio-veterans give us their perspective on where the industry is today, and where it's headed tomorrow.
