About This Event
Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink, describes how hedge funds took control of many legacy newspapers, sold off assets, including their buildings, and made severe cuts to newsrooms. In the past 20 years, 2,000 newspapers have closed across the U.S., creating news deserts and decimating the local news ecosystem.
The documentary was created by two-time Academy Award nominated Producer/Director Rick Goldsmith. It showcases how the motive to make a profit deters efforts to save and rebuild local journalism.
My Neighborhood News and the League of Women Voters of Snohomish County are bringing the documentary to the Edmonds Theater for a screening, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A. The confirmed panelists are Brenda Harrison, president-elect of the Snohomish County League of Women Voters; Michael Whitney of the Snohomish Tribune; Jenna Peterson of the Everett Herald; Jody Brannon of the Murrow School Journalism Fellowship Program; Jaime Mendez of Se Habla Media and Teresa Wippel, President and CEO of My Neighborhood News Network.
Tickets are $25 general admission. Additional donations to support My Neighborhood News Network are appreciated.
