This event is a wonderful forum for the public to interact directly with the press,” he added.
The panelists discussed significant news events and how it impacts Long Island and our local communities – from economic hardships, environmental issues, the most important stories and the most under reported news of 2009, how the media has changed in the past year, and the advent of Social Networking and what it means for the future of Long Island businesses.
