In the ninth episode of the State of Local News Podcast, host Tim Franklin — professor, John M. Mutz Chair in Local News and founding director of the Medill Local News Initiative — speaks with Melissa Bell, CEO of Chicago Public Media, home to one of the nation's most unique models for local news: the combination of a public radio outlet and a legacy newspaper.
Two years ago this month, Bell took over as head of Chicago Public Media, the nonprofit parent organization of NPR member station WBEZ and the iconic Chicago Sun-Times. She joins Tim Franklin to discuss how Chicago Public Media is bringing together NPR member station WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times under a nonprofit model.
