We’re inviting Sun Sentinel subscribers to come behind the scenes and get to know who we are, how we do what we do, and what drives our news coverage decisions.
We don’t just want to talk to you. We want to hear from you.
At this virtual event, you’ll meet our newsroom’s top decision makers and the reporters who cover two of South Florida’s hottest topics: coronavirus and the vaccine, and our ever-changing food scene. They’ll aim to give you a peek inside our newsroom, answer your questions, and hear your candid suggestions about what you would like to see from us.
Please join us at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 4. This hour-long special event is free, but open only to subscribers of the Sun Sentinel. You can sign up below.
