Leadership Raleigh participants visit WRAL-TV on May 6, 2014.

On May 6, 2014, WRAL-TV hosted 50 Leadership Raleigh class participants as part of their annual Media Day.  Leadership Raleigh is a nine-month leadership development program offered by the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.  The program provides participants with the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with community and business leaders.

The Leadership Raleigh group enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the newsroom, master control and the main studio.  After the tours concluded, the program participants engaged in a Q&A panel discussion with representatives from WRAL and WRAL.com including; WRAL-TV Anchor David Crabtree, Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel, Vice President & General Manager Steve Hammel and WRAL.com General Manager John Conway. The panel offered insight on day-to-day content gathering and the role of media today and its impact to the Triangle area.
