Virtual Newsmakers

Virtual Newsmakers is a webcast featuring everyday people who are bridging traditional and digital communications and empowering human communications through technology. The show's purpose is to ensure the audience gains something productive from the conversation. What to do when... How to deal with... All of these shows are kept on a positive note. Virtual Newsmakers is not like most news shows. The goal is to give people something worth listening to and provide immediate and insightful tips they can take away and implement into their business or lives that will make a difference.
