Join Berkeleyside for an innovative series of unscripted, informative, and thought-provoking conversations.
About this Event

Join us to celebrate Berkeleyside's 15th anniversary with a special Idea Makers event focused on local journalism and the role it plays in our democracy! What sets Berkeleyside apart as a thriving local news source in an era when so many others are disappearing? What goes on behind the scenes? What’s at stake for communities with no local news source?

We’ll kick off with a conversation between Cityside CEO Lance Knobel and State Assemblymember Buffy Wicks where they'll discuss legislative efforts, partnerships, and policies that support local newsrooms, as well as potential funding models for the future.

Next, enjoy a thought-provoking panel featuring Berkeleyside's Associate Editor and City Hall reporter Nico Savidge, JSK Journalism Fellow at Stanford University Candice Fortman, and San Francisco Chronicle Opinion Columnist, Soleil Ho. Together, they’ll explore the current state of journalism, dig into their experiences in the field, the challenges and opportunities facing local reporting, and so much more.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of news and media.
