On Wednesday afternoon, some of the most distinguished reporters and media people in Tampa Bay discussed the good and bad about today's media landscape nationally and in the Bay area at a Suncoast Tiger Bay forum in St. Petersburg.
They included the King of All Media locally, Tampa Bay Times media critic Eric Deggans, who when he isn't blogging or reporting for the Times, gives commentary to a host of national media outlets, including NPR and CNN.
The man described as one of the most prominent political bloggers in the country by no less than the Washington Post, St.Petersblog's Peter Schorsch.
John Romano, who has excelled as metro columnist at the Times succeeding Howard Troxler.
Noah Pransky, the charismatic investigative reporter for 10 News.
Jeff Houck, the extremely entertaining food critic and blogger with the Tampa Tribune.
And um, yours truly.
