IFC’s Make Media Matter forum

Chicago’s journalism elite gathered together Thursday afternoon for yet another group therapy session, this time bringing Carl Bernstein and our beloved editor-in-chief, Marcus Gilmer, into the mix. Covering a sweeping range of topics, the central theme was the future of the news industry. Conclusion? Doom. Oh, and there’s no agreeing on life-saving measures. It wasn’t that we didn’t have the most brilliant minds of the old guard in the conference room at the Newberry Library for the IFC’s Make Media Matter series – Bernstein was joined by editors Gerould Kern (Chicago Tribune), Donald Hayner (Chicago Sun-Times), Tran Ha (RedEye) WBBM-TV news director Jeff Kiernan, columnist/editor/host Carol Marin and WVON’s Cliff Kelley – it’s just that the old guard doesn’t know what’s going to happen and the new guard, represented only by Marcus and Ha, can’t predict the future of their industry.
