For this breakfast program, a panel of local business reporters will share the stories behind the headlines in Delaware and the greater Philadelphia area. Learn how these journalists \\u2014 and their editorial teams \\u2014 decide what to cover and report in today\\u2019s newspapers, websites and radio.

Panelists included Amy Cherry, 1150-AM WDEL; Joseph DiStefano, Philadelphia Inquirer; and, Jonathan Starkey, The News Journal.

Joseph DiStefano writes a business column in the Philadelphia Inquirer and the PhillyDeals blog. He\\u2019s worked at the Inquirer, more often than not, since 1988, leaving it a couple of times to make more money elsewhere and coming back when the Inquirer matched his pay. He\\u2019s also worked at The News Journal, where he had a column in the early 1990s; and at Bloomberg News, where he spent 2007 covering the early stages of the financial crisis at Citigroup and JPMorgan. He\\u2019s the author of Comcasted (2005, Camino Books), a book about Philadelphia\\u2019s largest company, which still hasn\\u2019t forgiven him. Joe was also one of our earliest podcast guests, when he appeared on the very first episode of our Middle Chamber Books podcast in 2005 to discuss his Comcast book.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Joe last year taught a senior writing seminar at St. Joseph\\u2019s University\\u2019s Haub business school. Joe lives north of Wilmington with his wife and their six kids. Follow the Philadelphia Inquirer @phillydotcom.
