New Convergence program at MU J-School

Mike McKean heads up the new Convergence program at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. This fall he begins his 20th year teaching at the J-School. Once upon a time, he was a reporter for The Missourinet, one of the state news networks owned by the company I work for. Mike and I get together every few months to talk about radio and journalism and the Internet and stuff like that. Today I took my recorder along and asked him about: Teaching journalism in 2005; podcasting; blogs; radio; advertising; newspapers; "citizen journalism" and some other stuff.

This is the latest installment in what I've come to think of as my "Future of Radio" series, which includes earlier interviews with Dan Shelley and Mary Quass.
