Can Local Journalism Survive? Thrive?
October 9 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
An important discussion sponsored by the League of Women Voters Oak Park and River Forest and Growing Community Media

- Tracy Baim, Executive Director of Press Forward Chicago
- Max Reinsdorf, Interim executive director of Growing Community Media
- April Alonso, Co-founder of Cicero Independiente
- Amethyst Davis, Founder of the Harvey World Herald
