We’re excited to invite you to another edition of Rhode Map Live on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
For our next exciting in-person event, we’re focusing on the future of local media, so I’ll be moderating an in-depth panel discussion with WPRI 12’s Tim White, Providence Journal and Newport Daily News executive editor Lynne Sullivan, and Globe Rhode Island editor Lylah Alphonse.
With all the upheaval in the Rhode Island media ecosystem lately, this is your chance to hear from some of the state’s most prominent newsroom leaders about where things are heading. What are they excited about? What concerns do they have? What will news look like in 2030?
We all know that Seth MacFarlane created "Family Guy," but what was the name of the film he created at RISD that eventually became "Family Guy?" (Answer at the bottom.)
Do you have the perfect question for Rhode Map readers? Don't forget to send the answer, too. Shoot me an email today.
