Shrinking Media And Your Arts Organization

Happy Saturday! I wanted to follow up and provide you with a link to a panel that I organized called "Shrinking Media and Your Arts Organization." The audio is provided by Chicago Amplified.

The panel offered wonderful insights on the state of media. Listen now by clicking the link below.

About the panel discussion:

Are you noticing the more press releases you send out the less arts coverage you see in the news? As media shrinks and newsrooms become understaffed, the arts become more underrepresented in traditional media.

Reflecting on what the new year may hold for arts groups in traditional and new media as part of this event are:

Sylvia Ewing, on-air talent at WTTW, Young Chicago Authors board member, & consultant
Catey Sullivan, Examiner.com
Scarlett Swerdlow, Illinois Arts Alliance
Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago and founding editor of GapersBlock.com
Gordon Mayer, Community Media Workshop, moderator

Listen in as they share their insights on the trend of shifting media and new online alternatives to help your arts organization reach new audiences and increasing your visibility using new online media.

The event was a partnership between Community Media Workshop and The League of Chicago Theatres.
