James River Writers hosted an adocacy panel discussion in May on The Role of Local Journalism in a Healthy Democracy, featuring Pulitzer Prize winning journalist of the Richmond Times Dispatch, Michael Paul Williams; VCU Professor of Journalism Dr. Mallory Perryman; and Sharene Azimi of the Institute for Nonprofit News. The discussion was hosted by Roben Farzad, host of NPR’s Full Disclosure and regular contributor to MSNBC, NPR, and C-SPAN. Roben adapted the content of the discussion for his May 30 episode of Full Disclosure, and you can listen to it HERE.
