A Discussion on Why Journalism Matters, Now More than Ever

Journalism shapes our society, and causes personal transformation—just one of many reasons why Journalism Matters, Now More than Ever. A special edition of KCSF News with Juan Gonzales and Jonathan Freedman, moderated by Victor Tence. Juan Gonzales is the head of the Journalism department at CCSF, and founder of the local El Tecolote newspaper. Jonathan Freedman won the pulitzer prize in 1987 for his editorials at The Tribune of San Diego which called for major immigration reform. He’s also the author of several nonfiction books, and one novel. They will critique media in the age of Trump, tell personal stories from their lives as journalists, and discuss the resurgence of local publications in a time when funding for print newspapers has nearly evaporated. Jonathan Freedman is hosting a free writing lab in Room 205 of the Rosenberg building on Ocean Campus. It's called "Engaging with Writing Workshop," and drop-ins are welcome. That's every Friday 11am - noon.
