LOCATION:
HYBRID MEETING - Country Club of York & Virtual Meeting on Zoom
PROGRAM-
Spotlight PA - Join Christopher Baxter, Executive Director, and Ed Mahon, investigative reporter,
as they discuss Spotlight PA, an independent, nonpartisan newsroom dedicated to high-quality investigative and public-service journalism about Pennsylvania state government and urgent
statewide issues. Founded in 2019, Spotlight PA addresses a crisis in journalism in Pennsylvania:
the ongoing and rapid decline of corporate-owned legacy news outlets, which is greatly diminishing
access to trusted, contextual, and factual reporting across the state. With support from foundations,
individual members, and more, Spotlight PA is uncovering stories that would otherwise go untold
and cutting through partisanship and misinformation to deliver trusted reliable journalism at no
cost to all Pennsylvanians. In only three years, Spotlight PA has become a leading national model for
independent, collaborative journalism that empowers residents and gets results. Its work has won numerous state and national awards and driven meaningful change and policy reforms in the state
capital and beyond.
