Robert McChesney is the co-founder of the national media reform organization Free Press and a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has written numerous books, including Communication Revolution: Critical Junctures and the Future of Media, published by New Press. He recently gave the Nieman Lecture at Marquette University on “Intellectuals, the Media and the Crisis of Our Times." He tells Stephanie Lecci that there is hope for the shrinking news media -- if the government financially supports journalism.
Erik Gunn writes the "Press Room" column for Milwaukee Magazine; his article on the competition between Milwaukee’s online entertainment publications appears in the latest issue.
Dr. Jeff Kelly is the director of the Center for AIDS Intervention Research at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He's also a professor of psychiatry and behavioral medicine. He tells Stephanie Lecci that research on HIV intervention programs, like what’s being done at the Medical College, is imperative, given that AIDS is still very much an active problem even if we don't hear much about it anymore.
David Greenberger has been chronicling the stories of older people in a publication called The Duplex Planet since 1979. For the last year, he’s been artist-in-residence at the UWM Center on Age and Community. He collaborated with Milwaukee musician Paul Cebar on a CD based on the stories he collected in his time here. The release party and concert for "Cherry Picking Apple Blossom Time" is tomorrow night at the Pabst Theater. In the midst of the project last fall, Greenberger sat down with Lake Effect contributor Paul Kosidowski, and explained how he taps into the creative process of his subjects.
