Inside the Chicago school closings vote: 'A lot of people being carried out'

Three of Chicago's most respected education reporters, the Chicago Tribune's Noreen Ahmed-Ullah, WBEZ-FM's Linda Lutton and Catalyst-Chicago's Sarah Karp, review and explain the climactic vote to close more schools at once than anywhere else or any other time in American history.

Their deep insight made things easy in my first outing as a TV host, filling in for Ken Davis at the helm of CAN-TV's "Chicago Newsroom."

If you care about Chicago's schools, you'll want to watch this to get a sense of what'll happen next.

There's no business like quiz business

Time for another news quiz!

You'll find help with the answers in my Twitter feed, my Facebook page, the Meyerson blog and whatever else I've been working on lately -- including a stint as guest host for CAN-TV's "Chicago Newsroom" (seen on YouTube and heard in iTunes).

Charlie Meyerson ...

...has delivered Chicago-area news for a long time -- including more than 10 years at the city's legendary progressive rock station, WXRT-FM 93.1; almost nine years at pioneering "smooth jazz" station WNUA-FM 95.5; almost 13 years at Tribune Co., as senior producer and Daywatch columnist at chicagotribune.com and then as news director at Chicago's premiere news/talk station, WGN-AM 720. After a year as Chicago bureau chief for the short-lived (but fun) FM News Chicago and New York -- covering government, politics, culture and technology -- Meyerson is now the principal at Meyerson Strategy, a content strategy and media consulting practice; and adjunct professor of journalism at Roosevelt University.
