A LOOKOUT analysis of 594 submissions found that more than 200 were handled by just four people working across political groups, while the state does not fact-check the arguments it prints.
In southern Arizona, a predominantly queer and femme protest camp is risking arrest to protect a cottonwood and stop a $500 million border wall project.
On Thursday Jan. 26, LOOKOUT will host its first of its semi-regular listening sessions, where reporters, editors, activists, artists and members of the community all get to come together and talk about issues important to them.
This is an ongoing effort of many local non profit newsrooms to be engaged in their communities, and make sure that you—our subscribers—are helping us guide the coverage that you want, not what we think you should read.
For our first listening session, we are being generously hosted by our friends at The New Times’ office building on 12th Street and Jefferson Road, in their conference room on the second floor. Light food and beverage will be provided.
But also: don’t be afraid to bring snacks! This is a community event!
We will be discussing LOOKOUT’s overall vision, as well as our current and ongoing coverage. We will then transition to a roundtable Q&A from attendees.
Attendance is free, but space is limited! Be sure to RSVP on eventbrite and get your ticket here.
