John Nichols: We have lost 20,000 on-air radio news personalities in the past 15 years

John Nichols is the co-author with Robert McChesney of the book, "The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution That Will Begin the World Again." Nichols and McChesney spoke at Town Hall Seattle on Jan. 19, 2010. Nichols is The Nation's Washington, D.C., correspondent and McChesney is the Gutgsell Endowed Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Sanjay Bhatt videotaped Nichols' talk and chopped it up into smaller segments to make the content easier to access (and quicker to load). This video was originally posted to AAJASeattle.org. I hope it raises awareness of what we've lost and inspires conversations about what we can do collectively to renew and reinvigorate American journalism.
