Po JOURN
5.11.2022
15:00 - 16:30
Truth seeking is a goal of many district publications, including truth about the media itself, and many of these publications have sprung up after the recent social movements. Over the past three years of rigorous documentation, there are still many uncertainties to be unearthed, such as limitations for the future. Through this open discussion, we seek to piece together the bigger picture and help each other find ways forward.
