Lizzy Hazeltine and Melanie Sill on local news




First in Future: Where Emerging Ideas Take Flight show

Summary: In a time when we are desperate for local news and are slowly being offered less of it due to downsizing and internet-based operations, how do we find out what is going on in our community? In this First in Future episode, we had the opportunity to talk with two individuals working on solutions for local news: Lizzy Hazeltine, the coordinator of the North Carolina Local News Fund, and Melanie Sill, journalist veteran and former news executive, who is leading the North Carolina Local News Workshop at Elon University.
