[grc] Local v. national/intenational news

[Ann Garrison]

Sometime before the election, a French Algerian journalist wrote to tell me
he'd been following my work on the Web and asked if I could do a text
exchange interview. This was the result,

Like everyone else, including the Black Agenda Report, Counterpunch, Glenn
Greenwald and even Trump himself, I believed the polls, so I'm going to
have to revise a number of things I said there.

I'm sharing this because I discussed local versus national/international
choices at the ballot box as I discussed local versus
national/international news reporting in my GRC news writing workshop.  I'm
still trying to make sense of what just happened, like everyone else.
This morning on Democracy Now, Glen Greenwald said that he still hasn't
been able to process Trump's ghoulish cabinet possibilities.

On Saturday, at a gathering for our KPFA United for Community Radio station
board slate, I promised to say a few words about the GRC, so I'm thinking
back over that delightful long weekend, and getting back in touch.
