Join us for a screening of “Breaking the News” and a panel discussion on Thursday, Feb. 29 at 6 p.m. at the Willet Science Center
Who decides which stories get told? A scrappy group of women and LGBTQ+ journalists buck the white male-dominated status quo, banding together to launch The 19th*, a digital news startup aiming to combat misinformation. A story of an America in flux, and the voices often left out of the narrative, the documentary “Breaking the News” shows change doesn’t come easy.
After the screening, there will be a panel discussion including:
Sofi Gratas, Reporter with GPB (Georgia Public Broadcasting)
Tanya Ott, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Journalist in Residence at The Reg Murphy Center for Collaborative Journalism, Mercer University
Tracie Powell, Founder of The Pivot Fund
Keith Reed, Editor, Capital B News
Moderated by Liz Jarvis Fabian, Civic Journalism Senior Fellow at Mercer University
