The World is Flatter Than You Think!

We may live in "Forgottonia" but we ain't in a bubble.

This very evening at the Buchanan Center for the Arts in downtown Monmouth, IL Mr. Joe Angotti, formerly executive producer for NBC News with Tom Brokaw and former head of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism will be presenting his take on the nature of the news business in the 21st century. The evening, which begins at 7:00 PM, will feature a talk, refreshments, and plenty of time for questions. It is sponsored jointly by the Warren County Library and the Buchanan Center for the Arts.
