Portland Press-Herald Reporter Bill Nemitz shared some of his observations about how much journalism has changed since he first came to Maine in 1977 and the emergence of social media with Joe on the Patio.

As easy as it may be to find information and get people to share their views on Facebook and Twitter, Nemitz said there will never be a substitute for just "talking to people on the street" to get the best stories. He said the real challenge for people who rely on social media to get their information is that they have to determine how credible it is.

Joe Ricchio in many ways is Portland… funny, eclectic, creative, excessive. As Joe knows, the Peninsula is also full of some of the coolest and most interesting people so why not bring them to you in a new, hip, cutting edge, dynamic digital program? Live from the Townsquare Media studios’ veranda overlooking Monument Square every week is the new web series Joe on the Patio that will be shown exclusively on WCYY.com.

Joe on the Patio is brought to you by Sebago Brewing.
