Charlie Meyerson, who is the Chicago Bureau Chief at FM News, talks about his career at WXRT, WNUA, the Tribune Company, and WGN Radio. He also talks about his audio reports, his new teaching gig at Roosevelt University, and shares his optimism about the media. And he just found out that he and the FM News team won a Silver Dome Award from the Illinois Broadcasters Association for Chicago Market Radio Best Live Coverage of an Event, which was the sentencing of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Basically, his career seems pretty golden.
