The event will be held on September 12 at 7:00 PM at the Northcentral Technical College Auditorium in the Health Science Center, 1000 W. Campus Drive.

Beyond the Headlines is a statewide project. Citizens and journalists across Wisconsin are coming together for face-to-face discussion about pressing local issues thanks to this Wisconsin Humanities Council project. At future Beyond the Headlines events in Wausau, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, and Superior, members of the public will meet local and nationally recognized journalists and scholars. At events, members of the public will gain valuable information about an issue in their community, and hear from local journalists about how these members of the media investigate and report the news.
