Beacon General Manager Nicole Hollway has been chosen to participate in
USC's Knight-McCormick Leadership Institute, joining other news
organization executives in shaping the future of journalism. The six-month program is hosted by the Knight Digital Media Center at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. The 20 fellows come from both traditional and new media organizations. They'll work on projects specially tailored to the needs of their organizations. Nicole's Web experience, business acumen and community commitment have been invaluable assets for the Beacon. As the Beacon's top business executive, she's become a leader in innovation here and nationally. This year, Nicole participated in the Sulzberger Leadership Program for news executives at Columbia University in New York. We're pleased that Nicole and the Beacon will be able to benefit from and contribute to the USC program and the larger discussion underway on how news organizations can serve the public better. |

This Saturday was the debut of a new show by The Improv Shop that will bring out of town improv teams to St. Louis to play for — and with — a local audience. The Road Show brought teams "Everybody Grok" and "Felt" from Chicago.
We talked to Eric Christensen, producer of the Road Show and member of local improv team "Ted Dangerous"; Katie Nunn, member of "Ted Dangerous" and improv coach; and Melanie Penn and Ranjan Khan, members of local teams "Melanj" and "Magic Ratio"; about the St. Louis improv scene and why it's important to welcome teams from other cities to perform here.
