The press has played a bigger role in our lives over the last year. As new publications form in our City, can we learn from our mistakes?The role of the press has taken many forms over the last year.
Printed publications continue to struggle and journalists lose their jobs at record paces.
While the industry shrinks, the importance of a free press still remains.
Is there any hope in providing the public with this necessary check of those in power?
How did the pandemic affect our sense of the importance of the press during the pandemic?
How do we cover those in power from a distance?
What does the process of creating a new publication look like?
How can new publications apply the lessons of past mistakes?
Where does the free press go from here?
In the next installment of the "What We Learned" series, Manny's welcomes Annie Gaus of Here/Say Media, Erica Messner of @TheSanFranciscanmagazine, and Nick Bastone of the SF Minute to discuss what they have learned over the last 15 months and how they apply the lessons learned to their industry.
The structure of this event will be about 45 minutes of discussion with our panel followed by small break out groups where YOU can meet some new folks and discuss what you just heard. We hope to help solicit a more collaborative discussion and hear the diverse stories in our city.
Manny's never turns away anyone for lack of funds. To receive a complementary ticket just email the word "grapefruit" and the title of this event to [email protected].
This event will be in person at Manny's but there will also be a Zoom link ticket for those who'd like to tune in digitally from the comfort of their home.
