...still goes a long way.

NBC 30 held its first "Town Hall Talkback" session Wednesday night at Middletown City Hall.

We're in the business of communication, but it's always beneficial to hear from the good people on the receiving end of what we do.

We learned what's important to the several dozen people who attended, and they learned the process that goes into deciding which stories get covered and why.

Many of us have turned to the internet, and web sites like NBC 30.com, for instant information.

And we exchange thoughts and ideas through blogs like this one.

But it was still nice to see that there are still many, many people who get their news the "old fashioned" way. On television. And like us, they want it to be as good as it can.

Our thanks to those who came out.
