Announcing a community conversation about journalism: "Agenda Live"

This Sunday at the Loft

Forgive me for promoting this event one more time but it is important to me and to our community.

Come to the Loft on Sunday the 27th at 3P.M. for “Agenda Live!” where we will discuss the future of journalism. Your $20 admission will go to supporting what I consider to be the future of journalism. Get your tickets here: Tickets

During the 2-hour event I will be moderating the conversation with Hank Stephenson, Curt Prendergast and Caitlin Schmidt. Curt and Caitlin are the veteran journalists teaming up to produce the new "Tucson Agenda".

And we will have time for what I am certain will be a lively Question & Answer segment.

And I will cartoon.

The Loft

Sunday the 27th

3-5PM

The entire program promises to be smart, provocative, fun, informative and one more thing: a cause for hope.

Like the online promo says, “Have you ever wondered about the stuff reporters don’t tell you? You know, the ‘you won’t believe what I had to go through to get that quote’ stuff? Or what they really think about the politicians they know so well. Don’t miss this fun conversation that allows readers a live, behind the curtain peak at the day in the life of an Agenda reporter.”

When my friend Hank asked me to help promote his vision I jumped at the chance to be near the Loft theater’s popcorn machine. Hank is Hank Stephenson. Hank and his colleague Rachel Leingang are the extraordinary journalists behind “Arizona Agenda” which is my number one favorite “insiders” news source for Arizona news.

Hank’s an old school reporter and he’ll tell you he’s every politician’s greatest fear. Rachel, like Hank has all the qualities, drive and instinct of a great journalist. What is “Arizona Agenda”? Their website will tell you.

“We’re a daily political insider newsletter for political outsiders, run by two longtime local journalists. 

While our main target is state politics and government, we go anywhere we smell bullshit — from local school boards to the halls of Congress. 

Our goal is simple: Help Arizonans better understand the state’s political scene and how the government works so they can make informed decisions and hold their leaders to account.”

Now what’s all this about a “Tucson Agenda”?

Now that’s worth showing up for. More to come.
