SUMMARY:You Have the Floor: Conversations about Neighborhoods and News Coverage\, with Public Source

As outlets close\, change or scale back\, the question isn’t just what’s next but what local journalism could (and should) be for you. \n\n\n\n“You Have the Floor” is a seven-day series of community town halls across the Greater Pittsburgh region. No speeches. No panels. Just neighbors talking about what information they need\, what feels overlooked and how journalism can better serve the public.
