RNC Week in Review - One Hour Special

We look back at Cleveland's turn in the national spotlight as host city of the Republican National Convention.

Our journalists' roundtable discussed issues related to security and protests and the economic impact on the city.

ideastream's Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler reported on Ohio Governor John Kasich's whereabouts during the week; Rick Jackson visited with Google and Facebook and reported on how technology-driven media companies are having a profound impact on how and what news was being reported.

ideastream's Senior Arts Reporter David C. Barnett went on a shopping spree to see what goods were available for purchase around town; and we took a look at a new exibit at the Cleveland History Center highlighting Northeast Ohio's role as a political powerhouse.

And politicial commentator and former RNC Chair Michael Steele came by our studio to speak with Rick Jackson on the convention.
