How does local news strengthen communities? Join My Neighborhood News Network journalists for a lively discussion Thursday, Feb. 8 at the Edmonds Waterfront Center. This session — the latest in the Edmonds Author & Speaker Series — explores the vital role that journalism plays in bringing communities together through education, civic engagement and coverage of community events — from local theater to high school sports.
Teresa Wippel — founder, president and CEO of the My Neighborhood News Network — will talk briefly about the challenges facing the news industry, followed by a Q&A with reporters and photographers for MNNN, which includes digital publications My Edmonds News, MLTnews and Lynnwood Today. Then, attendees will be invited to share their ideas for local news coverage in South Snohomish County.
The event starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $7.50 to defray Waterfront Center expenses. You can purchase tickets here.
