A Seat at the Table

Mayoral production

March 9th, 2009 at 02:47pm Wally Haas

Tomorrow’s debate with the four candidates for Rockford mayor will be quite a production. The 90-minute debate will be streamed live on our Web site, technology permitting. We have some reader submitted questions, including three via video, that we will try to work in.

This is the most ambitious project for a mayoral debate we’ve had here in the News Tower. We hope it will provide useful information for voters as they head to the ballot box April 7.

Chris Soprych, the mastermind behind this effort, said “we’ve done more complicated projects — but not well.” He thinks this one will go well. Tune in at 1 p.m. tomorrow.

    Wally;
    For those of us who may not bea able to watch this, will some follow on production be available? Or a transcript?

    Yes. We hope to have the full debate available. We’re still working on the details. We’re newspaper/Web folks and a lot of this video stuff is new to us. We’ll do our best.
