Welcome to Coffee and Conversation from WSKG. On this premiere episode, WSKG’s Crystal Sarakas and Tom Magnarelli sit down with NPR journalist David Folkenflik, recorded live at the Kitchen Theatre in Ithaca, New York.
A special thanks to Rachel Lampert and staff of Kitchen Theatre, Linda Glaser and the team at Cornell University, WSKG Leadership Society members, Business Sponsorship partners, and Gimme! Coffee.
Note: During the Q/A portion, a microphone was not at the-ready. The transcript of the audience member's question is provided here:
"Ron Van Ormer, managing director of the Ithaca Voice. I'd also like to say our editor in chief, Matt Butler, is here as well. I'd really like to get your perspective on the role of digital news media in the local reporting scene, and how can we partner with WSKG, Cornell Sun, these other nonprofit services. [...] There wasn't really [...] discussion about that, and I'd like to see your perspective on how that fits in."
