If you’re interested in the future of newspapers and news in the Puget Sound region, read more about what was said at a panel discussion hosted by Seattle City Club on Friday 2/20 at this link. Reading these notes is almost as good as being there, thanks to Seattle PI Reporter Mónica Guzmán.  Now is certainly a time for reinvention of the business models for delivering the news, and there is plenty of that on the horizon for newspapers, journalists, work-in-the-trenches publicists, and do-it-yourself publicists who must navigate an ever-changing landscape to share their messages with the world.
