Meg Turville-Heitz is the grant program director and the "Beyond the Headlines" project manager for the Wisconsin Humanities Council. We talk to her to about managing the CARES grant program, what makes a good grant, and the different personalities of the different parts of the state of Wisconsin.
In the last 25 minutes we open the discussion to talk about the "Beyond the Headlines" project, the obstacles facing modern journalism, the perils of the internet, and the somewhat bleak outlook for the survival of local newspapers if something doesn't change.
