Several weeks after rebuilding its front lobby to be more open to the civic life in Pasadena, the newsroom is embarking on a new venture to further strengthen its relationship with the community. The Star-News Lounge, opening this month, is at the center of the newsroom's community engagement strategy.
The Lounge will be a place where the public can interact with Star-News reporters and editors, learn more about the workings of the newsroom and what guides our coverage, provide feedback and participate in workshops and informal discussions.
We'll begin asking for your feedback at an open house planned for 3 to 5 p.m. Tuesday in our downtown office at 911 E. Colorado Blvd. Refreshments will be served and staff members will be on hand to introduce visitors to the newsroom and the lounge area, which has been outfitted with public work stations. We'll be looking for your suggestions on how to use this space in the future.
Shortly after the kick-off event, the Star-News Lounge will host its first event soon, an informal discussion with Public Editor Larry Wilson, school board members and Star-News journalists exploring governance issues in the Pasadena Unified School District, especifically cheap vegas travel the recent changes in the way in which the PUSD's Advertisement governing body is elected.
For the first time in more than a century of local elections, the school district is now divided into geographical sub-districts for its elections. The March 5 election for three school board seats allowed candidates to knock on doors and send campaign literature within a specific, small district cheap vegas travel rather than having to reach out to the entire cities of Pasadena and Sierra Madre and the unincorporated area of Altadena, with more than 200,000 residents.
Did the electoral change make a significant difference for voters and for candidates? Will it make a difference for the 20,000 students of the PUSD and their families? If it empowers neighborhoods, does it deprive voters from having cheap vegas travel a say in all seven board seats? The Star-News Lounge will be a perfect place to hash out these issues.
