KQED News announced this week that it will launch a new multi-platform service called “KQED Newsroom.” Taking its name from the nightly newscast that premiered during the 1968 San Francisco newspaper strike, the new service will integrate television, radio, online, mobile and social media, and will feature interviews, field reporting and debate segments. Longtime journalist and TV anchor Thuy Vu will host the program, and The California Report’s host and reporter Scott Shafer will be its senior correspondent. We speak to them about their hopes and goals for the freshly incarnated “KQED Newsroom.”
