Panel Discussion: Resilience and Journalism
Some of the most creative and resourceful ideas when it comes to addressing matters of economic pressure, housing and other rapid changes in our city and society come from communities of color, immigrant communities and other marginalized groups.
What can journalism and other media do to help those communities further build resilience and encourage these ideas come to fruition?
Join this year’s group of community journalist panelists —moderated by Seattle Globalist editorial director, Venice Buhain— in exploring this question.
