Update-1 podcast: Former NPC President on political conventions, then and now

Who better to discuss how political conventions have changed through the years than former National Press Club President Jonathan Salant? Update-1 caught up with him at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week.

Broadcast Committee member Shannon Fisher talked with Salant on a noisy convention floor about the 18 conventions he has covered, beginning with the DNC in 1984 when New York Governor Mario Cuomo became a national political figure with his convention keynote address in which he spoke of "A Tale of Two Cities."

Salant also discussed how video and social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, have added to the responsibilities of reporters, and the differences between the Republican and Democratic conventions.

Update-1 is produced by Mike Hempen. The podcast can be heard here on the NPC website or on iTunes, Sticher and Tunein.
