Learn about reporting the news in a polarized world

WAUPACA – The Winchester Academy will present “Finding Fact-Based Journalism in a Polarized World,” presented by Jim Malewitz on September 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the  Waupaca Area Public Library lower level meeting rooms.

Jim Malewitz is managing editor of Wisconsin Watch, where he oversees the statewide newsroom. He has spent nearly his entire career in nonprofit public-affairs journalism.

His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Politics Magazine.

Where can people turn for trustworthy information in a polarized world with shrinking local news options? Malewitz’s talk will explore a community-centered model of journalism that listens to residents and investigates solutions to the challenges they face.
