From K-State First:
Bonita Gooch, editor and publisher of The Community Voice in Wichita, will deliver the 19th annual Huck Boyd Lecture in Community Media tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 14, at Kansas State University. Her lecture, “The Grind: Using Journalism as a Community Builder,” will be at 9:30 a.m. in Forum Hall at the K-State Student Union.
“More than reporting the news, community newspapers can play a role in strengthening the communities they serve,” Gooch said. With its slogan — “A trusted voice from the community’s perspective” — she and her team at the biweekly newspaper have spent the last 24 years gaining and using that trust to help educate, connect and build African-American communities across Kansas.
