I am always amazed at the reach of our Helzberg School to the local business community. This week, the School (thanks to Turner White and John Meyer) put together quite a panel of local journalists to discuss the role of the media in the election -- part of the HSOM's Center for Leadership and Ethics speaker series. The subject of bias was discussed.
Mark Zieman, a recent alum of our Executive Fellows, spoke earlier today to our current Fellows class on the state of the newspaper industry. Zieman is a good person to talk about it -- he was 10 years editor at the KC Star and is now for the last year or so Publisher for the Star. Mr. Zieman talked to the class about the challenges of the industry, pointing out the profound impact of things like the internet and the economy on the newspaper business.
The issue of bias also came up in the discussion today. In fact, the topic brought on a debate between Randy Schwering and I on that topic and others, which made me think on the current politcal issue of elitism . . .
