You’ve seen  Investigative Post on screens of all sizes: laptops, televisions, cell phones.

Now there’s an opportunity to interact with Investigative Post face to face.

Western New York’s only news organization dedicated exclusively to watchdog journalism is hosting 15 events through next June. The series, entitled “At Issue,” is geared towards providing the public with thought-provoking events focused on important issues. 

Events include:

• Investigative Post journalists discussing their work and engaging experts and audiences on the issues they cover.
• A film series dealing with important issues confronting journalism, held at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and followed by an informative discussion with experts.
• Panels of experts addressing key issues such as leadership, media and school reform at luncheons and happy hours.
• Investigative Post Editor Jim Heaney delivering a spin-free assessment of the “Real State of the Community.”

The series kicks off with a showing of “All the President’s Men” at the Burchfield Penny Art Center on Sept. 24.

October events includes a luncheon on Oct. 15 that will explore school reform. Speakers include Buffalo Schools Superintendent Donald Oglivie. On Oct. 29, Investigative Post Editor Jim Heaney will present his reporting so far on the Buffalo Billion and engage with several experts on economic development.
