~FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC~

After many years of waiting, and too many delays, most full-power television stations in the United States went all-digital in 2009. For 2010 we have the National Broadband Plan.  Andrew W. Thornhill, Digital Media Strategist, author of the soon-to-be-released book THE DIGITAL TELEVISION REPORT, founder of DTR Support and a nationally recognized authority on change in the media marketplace, digital media and the industry-wide, 2009 DTV transition, will offer a forward-looking presentation in two parts.

1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
The 4 Winners Marketplace
A simple approach to view opportunities in the rapidly changing communications industries. With the mandatory transition for broadcast television stations recently completed, there are new paths for entrepreneurs, businesses and institutions.

6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Is It Time To Consider Options for Journalists In Cross Platform Distribution?
From print to broadband, the weight of delivery is still on the writer, the storyteller, the journalist. Is there a bigger picture?

Event is geared for working/professional journalists and the journalism community but also is open to the general public.
