The League of Women Voters of the Lewisburg Area’s Educational Forum series  will continue with a talk by  Chris Baxter on “Journalism, Democracy & Driving Change". 

Our state and democracy depend on residents having free and unfettered access to quality, trusted information on which to base their vote, advocate policies, demand accountability, and drive positive change.  Yet the very core of our information networks — that is, traditional journalism and the free press — here and around the country are eroding under tremendous pressure.  We'll explore how the future of Pennsylvania and the future of journalism are inextricably linked, how Spotlight PA is blazing a new path forward for trusted reporting, and why so much is at stake.

The meeting is open to members and the general public.  All are welcome.   

An optional $15.50 buffet lunch will be served beginning at 11:30 am.  The program will begin at noon.  No reservation is needed for the in-person lunch.

The meeting will be recorded and promptly posted after the event on the League website: What You Missed | MyLO (lwv.org)
