Join us to discuss why local journalism matters in our community.
About this Event

Jimmy Nesbitt, Columbia Editor for The Post and Courier, will lead an interactive

discussion on the importance of local journalism. We’ll also learn about what reporters

are seeing on the ground in Columbia and the Midlands. This will be a great opportunity

to engage in a conversation about a topic critical to good government.


The League of Women Voters recognizes the decline of local news and supports

“credible and ethical journalism as essential to our democracy.”
