Here and Now - The Future of AZ Newspapers / Food Network's Guy Fieri
There was a time when Arizona had six daily newspapers serving the metro areas of Tucson and Phoenix. Now, that number is down to three. It could have been two if a buyer for the East Valley Tribune wasn't found.
Why do you think the business model for newspapers is failing? What can they do to stay alive and relevant in Arizona? Post your comments below.
Plus, whether it's pimping for TGIF Fridays in TV commercials, or dominating the airways of the Food Network, Guy Fieri has become a food pop sensation. Now, he's in town for a Roadshow at the Mesa Arts Center. We'll talk to Fieri about how the restaurateur is handling his new fame while running businesses and raising a family.
What you you like to ask Guy? Let us know below.

Here and Now: Special Session, East Valley Tribune and Clinical Trials
The Capitol Times reports the legislature and Governor's office have reached a tentative deal on the parameters of a special session to resolve the state's budget deficit. We'll check in with one of the parties and speak to Arizona Guardian reporter Dennis Welch about what is on the table.
We'll also discuss the demise of the East Valley Tribune. The newspaper has always had superior local reporting and was rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize this year for its series of stories on the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Now, just months after winning journalism's biggest award, the paper announces it will cease publication in all forms by the new year. We'll talk to the editor of the paper and a former editor and one of the reporters who helped win the big prize. The question is, if a good news organization owned by a private company can not stay afloat--what does that mean for the rest of journalism and the public who depends on the news.
We'll also talk to Glen Weiss, MD, who splits his time between TGen and TGen Clinical Research Services at Scottsdale Healthcare, about some of the clinical trials going on involving cancer research. And we'll check in with ASU's Paul Davies, who is leading the universities efforts at finding how physics affects cancer.
