KQED’s Forum devoted an hour to discussing the possibility that San Francisco could lose its only major daily newspaper. Host Michael Krasny led a conversation with Carl Hall, local representative of the California Media Workers Guild; Louis Freedberg, director of the California Media Collaborative; and Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.

The show first aired on Feb. 26, 2009. You can listen to it here: http://www.kqed.org/epArchive/R902260900
