That’s the day the Fair Media Council presents the conference of the year. We call it Real & Powerful: The News Conference, which brings out the best in national and local news to take you behind the headlines and establish an open dialogue to keep Long Island in the spotlight.
Incredible networking, too, in the posh setting of The Garden City Hotel. (Some people think of it as Connection Day on steroids.) Details Are Coming Soon. Sponsorships and speakers wanted.
WHO WE’RE WATCHING AND WHY
This week, we watch the likes of James Comey, The View, Waldo Cabrera, and a litany of Long Island and New York City media voices tearing up the local scene.
