Last night’s Pressing Issues was a huge success. More than two dozen members of the local media were on hand to hear from Van Applegate of Fox5 TV in Washington and Jim Provance of The Blade as they described their experiences on the front lines of the unrest in our country over the past year. Increasingly, it is becoming impossible for journalists to avoid being part of the story. We thank them both for telling the story of a year that we hope will be unlike any other.
