Media guests will rotate on a regular basis, with up to
four contributors on each episode. "Blue Ridge Week with
Julie Newman" will strive to provide a cross-section of
broadcast, print and on-line participants who represent
the entire region. The program will also have social
media components, including Facebook and Twitter, to
provide interaction with viewers. For some episodes,
when topics require more than the half-hour broadcast
time, "Blue Ridge Week" will continue the conversation
online at
BlueRidgePBS.org.
