The past, present, and future of New Jersey public media were subject of a special conference at Rutgers-Camden, as experts laid out the history and recent debate over the state's role in public broadcasting and media executives joined with their plans for replacing it.
The conference brought together many of the top players in the discussion that started with the Christie administration's decision last year to stop funding the New Jersey Network and sell off its licenses and leases.
This program was three hours long and consisted of four separate panels.
