Description
$25 General Admission (Does not include ticketing service fees) Proceeds to benefit both the GroundTruth Project and the Provincetown Independent, a newly created nonprofit supporting local journalism on the Outer Cape. Are we in a “post-truth” era? Should we worry about the country’s expanding “news deserts”? Award-winning reporter Charles Sennott explains how the crisis in local journalism has become a crisis of our democracy—and what to do about it. He talks about founding the GroundTruth Project, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping truthful, passionate journalism alive, and about how their Report for America project seeks to inspire and teach a new generation of journalists and boost local newsrooms. Stay to meet Charlie and enjoy snacks after the talk.
