Come along to hear the Editor of St Albans Times, Matt Adams, talk about why local publications contribute so much to the social, political and cultural fabric of our communities. How is it, in this digital age with social media and sensationalist headlines grabbing attention and influencing discourse, that local newspapers can play a vital and strong role? Are they the lifeblood of our communities, providing news that impacts our lives on a daily basis? Does covering local elections, reporting on school and community news inform, engage, and empower citizens? What is the connection between local newspapers and democracy?
ALL WELCOME, FREE TO MEMBERS, £7.50 for non-members.
There will be a social gathering with a glass of wine provided as part of the evening.
