About this listen

On this week's show, the panel has a serious conversation about the role of local journalism in giving formal endorsements of candidates in local and regional political races. Denise Civiletti and Beth Young express why they each hold policies against the practice as very small organizations, and Joe Shaw gives a counterargument from the perspective of a larger operation. They also talk about New York State's new law requiring all elections to be held on even years, the significance of state support for oyster farming, and the development of a community center in East Hampton.

This week's panel is:

  • Joe Shaw, Executive Editor at The Express News Group
  • Bill Sutton, Managing Editor at The Express News Group
  • Jack Motz, Staff Writer at The Express News Group
  • Beth Young, Editor & Publisher of East End Beacon
  • Denise Civiletti, Editor & Publisher of RiverheadLocal
