We’ll be podcasting and blogging from Denver and St. Paul, and our reporters will be on public radio with reports and analysis.

This event is co-sponsored by the New York Community Media Alliance. If you’re in Denver, please join us Monday at noon at the Big Tent. We’ll have more information soon about where you can hear and see this conversation on the Web, TV and radio.
