To say 2020 brought us unprecedented times is cliche but it's facts. This year has transformed the way journalists and media report on politics, how newsrooms operate, and who are the storytellers and gatekeepers. Join us this Saturday, Oct 24 at 11 a.m. PT for this discussion with political journalists on how they've navigated COVID, racial uprisings, election interference and the many surprises that this intense election season continues to bring.
