The world of communications is constantly changing – and at a rapid pace. Infobesity, or information overload, is an epidemic plaguing society and the business world. How do you get your message heard and through which medium? Where and how are Truckee locals getting their information? How do community organizations and institutions get important community information out to their constituents? The June 12th Good Morning Truckee will delve into this topic by bringing together a panel of professionals to discuss their perspectives on the topic including their role and manner in which they create and distribute content.
Panelists will present their perspectives on the topic from their different vantage points. Panelists include:
