WEBVTT

0:00:03.903 --> 0:00:05.958
[Robb Leer] We have kick-started

0:00:05.958 --> 0:00:07.283
this discussion today, okay?

0:00:07.283 --> 0:00:08.063
We are not going to get to

0:00:08.063 --> 0:00:09.359
everybody's question.

0:00:09.359 --> 0:00:10.109
We're not going to get

0:00:10.109 --> 0:00:10.789
all the answers.

0:00:10.789 --> 0:00:13.252
But what I hope that

0:00:13.252 --> 0:00:14.580
we've done today is to

0:00:14.580 --> 0:00:15.834
build on the dialogue.

0:00:15.834 --> 0:00:18.080
There are some critiques

0:00:18.080 --> 0:00:18.845
in front of you.

0:00:18.845 --> 0:00:20.859
We need to hear from you that

0:00:20.859 --> 0:00:21.757
we will have an opportunity

0:00:21.757 --> 0:00:22.905
to do this again.

0:00:22.905 --> 0:00:25.589
And I want to just give

0:00:25.589 --> 0:00:26.747
everybody a chance to

0:00:26.747 --> 0:00:28.155
give a round of applause to our

0:00:28.155 --> 0:00:29.370
panelists for being here today.

0:00:29.370 --> 0:00:32.460
[Applause]

0:00:32.460 --> 0:00:34.063
I hope your takeaway...

0:00:34.063 --> 0:00:35.125
Oh, very nice.

0:00:35.125 --> 0:00:38.423
The only time they ever see a

0:00:38.423 --> 0:00:39.489
standing ovation is when they

0:00:39.489 --> 0:00:41.172
leave the newsroom for the last time.

0:00:41.172 --> 0:00:45.107
If you're a good reporter,

0:00:45.107 --> 0:00:46.789
you're a pain in ass, okay?

0:00:46.789 --> 0:00:50.095
These guys are all a pain in the ass.

0:00:50.095 --> 0:00:52.456
No. All kidding aside,

0:00:52.456 --> 0:00:55.533
we want to continue this conversation.

0:00:55.533 --> 0:00:57.608
I hope your takeaway today

0:00:57.608 --> 0:00:59.593
is these reporters want to

0:00:59.593 --> 0:01:00.543
connect with you.

0:01:00.543 --> 0:01:01.566
They want to know more

0:01:01.566 --> 0:01:02.478
about the stories.

0:01:02.478 --> 0:01:03.414
They want to know more

0:01:03.414 --> 0:01:04.246
about the issues

0:01:04.246 --> 0:01:06.243
that you're living with every day.

0:01:06.243 --> 0:01:07.900
And I think the fact that

0:01:07.900 --> 0:01:09.160
they all showed up today

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.771
speaks to that, but we need

0:01:10.771 --> 0:01:11.768
to know this is just

0:01:11.768 --> 0:01:14.209
the beginning and let's

0:01:14.209 --> 0:01:15.408
begin those conversations.

0:01:15.408 --> 0:01:16.719
And not every little story

0:01:16.719 --> 0:01:17.807
you pitch is going to end up

0:01:17.807 --> 0:01:18.962
in the paper or on television,

0:01:18.962 --> 0:01:20.531
but it’s going to continue

0:01:20.531 --> 0:01:21.971
the dialogue and hopefully

0:01:21.971 --> 0:01:24.908
we'll have better outcomes.
