So far on this show, our interviews have been with decision and policy makers in the city of Bloomington. But there are some people who know a lot about the city, and can explain the issues well, who may never have been elected or appointed officials. Today we debut a new occasional feature: The 812 Work Session.
Mike Leonard was the primary columnist at the Herald-Times newspaper from 1985-2013, when he retired; before that, he was a beat reporter for the paper starting in 1979. He's also a 20-year board member and former president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. Host Steve Volan talks with Mike about his career at the Herald-Times; they then turn to the state of local news, the growth of the city in his time here, and the passing of the publisher of The Ryder magazine and film series, Peter LoPilato.
