Evanston Reporters Talk Shootings, New Business, Development
Watch ECTV's first episode of 'The Reporters,' which gathers four Evanston journalists to talk about the latest local news.
ECTV has just released a new show called "The Reporters," in which four Evanston journalists talk about the latest local news.
The first episode was taped last Thursday and can be watched in the video player above. Evanston Review's Bob Seidenberg moderates, with panelists Bill Smith of Evanston Now, Shawn Jones of the Evanston Roundtable and Jenny Fisher of Evanston Patch. The discussion ranged from the latest violence in Evanston to new developments in town, including Trader Joe's, the Northwestern University Visitor Center and tax-increment financing.
The show will be streamed live on cable channel 6 on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. and on Thursdays and Saturdays at 6 p.m. On these same days and times, it will be simultaneously streamed on the ECT website.
"The Reporters" was produced by ECTV's Ashraf Manji, Dennis King, Gary Brooks, and Jim Mizell. Manji also contributed studio directing, and Brooks did editing, audio and lighting. Camera work is by Dennis King and Jim Mizell, and internet distribution by Jim Mizell.

Kudos to the reporters from these four publications for participating
