Media from the local, regional and national levels are scheduled to provide their own perspectives on what sports means to the towns and teams they cover.

The format will be a general discussion within the panel and will include interaction with the audience, discussing the role of the media and how the audience can help shape a story. 

The event is expected to last 60-90 minutes.

This event, part of the Hometown Teams exhibit displaying through July 20, 2014, is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact Steve Johnson, of the BRS Baseball Museum, at (217) 710-8629.
