Hi everyone...
Thanks to those of you who attended the News Geezers lunch on Saturday, May 31. For those who weren't there: We missed you! Video highlights are on YouTube now and ready for viewing:
https://youtu.be/7UDcmAX1BDk
Running time is 36 minutes.
We heard from two of our members - Warren Cereghino and Reed Saxon - who are victims of the Palisades fire. They spoke about what's happened since... and the challenges they continue to face.
Professor Liz Blakey - who teaches media law and other journalism courses at Cal State Northridge - spoke about the challenges in adapting curriculums to current challenges. She also took questions.
Then we passed a microphone around the room and heard from those attending... and their current activities, recent accomplishments and concerns.
Enjoy the video... and thanks, as always, for your long standing support of the News Geezers.
All the best,
Bob Tarlau
