JULIE MAKINEN is the:
• Former Executive Editor of the Desert Sun,
• Beijing Bureau Chief for the LA Times and
• Deputy Business Editor for the New York Times in Hong Kong.
She will speak of the surprisingly rich and delightfully eccentric media history in our valley and how the landscape is evolving in the digital world. It's a media ecosystem in transition and transformation: part contraction, part reinvention. It's a thoughtful, lively exploration for anyone invested in understanding the valley's past and its uncertain media future.
Our meeting will start promptly at 7PM, new members are welcome and may join at the door.
The FORUM Club meets the second Wednesday of months November through May. Questions? Call Brett Thompson, 310-766-5505.
