In this episode of Navel Gazing, Eugene Driscoll and Jodie Mozdzer introduce Caitlin Emma, a fellow for the CT News Project, who is working at the Valley Indy for a month.

Then after a series of interruptions, they talk news industry changes, and raise the roof for non-profit journalism.

  1. Some great insights. My big concern right now is what happens when Connecticut’s 62 Patch sites go out of business or are replaced with something that doesn’t resemble what those towns have come to expect from the better Patch editors in a pretty short period of time. And also what happens to all those journalists they’re employing at a time when there are not too many job openings in the news business.

  2. Thanks, Matt, but I babble on like an idiot.

    I meant to talk about the cool stuff you guys did with the Register-Citizen newsroom and how you’re planning (I assume) to do the same in New Haven but it didn’t come out of my head.

    My attempt at a funny line would have been about how Register reporters will be dancing around without shoes on the New Haven Green, sort of like the end of “The 40-Year-Old Virgin.”

    I guess there’s what you plan to say, what you should have said and what you said.

  3. Did you know that Patch is part of AOL? I wouldn’t worry about them going out of biz soon – I think they’ve been pretty successful & pretty low cost for AOL.
