Former New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet will join Civil Beat’s Blaze Lovell to talk about Blaze’s yearlong stint as a New York Times Local Investigations Fellow, the investigative reporting process and what it took to put together the in-depth report on the amount of money flowing from Hawaii’s government contractors to political candidates and elected officials. Civil Beat editor and general manager, Patti Epler, will moderate the discussion.

This free event will be live-streamed and recorded. The recording will be sent to everyone who registers, including those who cannot make it in-person. Transcripts will be available by request following the event.
