Returning to the Digital Newsroom
Dennis Chamberlin, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and Michael Bugeja, former bureau chief for United Press International, tested their journalism skills during the week of November 8 with an
enterprise piece on "The New Poverty," documenting how the failing
economy in Iowa is affecting all strata of society.
Chamberlin and Bugeja blogged about their experience, reflecting on whether their skills are viable today. They'll talk about all this and more in Thursday's chat.
