What can we do to fix corruption in South Carolina?
More than 120 public officials on the Palmetto State have been arrested on criminal offenses in the past six years. And The Post and Courier's Uncovered investigation has exposed many more instance of questionable conduct.
Join us for a panel discussion of our continuing Uncovered series, which seeks to shine new light on questionable government conduct in South Carolina, especially in smaller towns where officials often receive less scrutiny. We'll answer readers' questions, listen to tips and discuss what can be done to address this festering problem. We'll also explore the critical role local newspapers play in holding officials accountable for their actions.
The panel will feature The Post and Courier's Watchdog and Public Service Reporters Tony Bartelme, Avery Wilks and Stephen Hobbs. Joining us will be special Guest Panelist, Barbara Ball, The Owner and Publisher of The Voice of Blythewood and Fairfield County. Moderated by Watchdog and Public Service Editor Glenn Smith. Introduction from The Post and Courier's Executive Editor Autumn Phillips.
In-person event will be held at:
The Russell House Theatre
at The University of South Carolina
Columbia, SC
Monday, March 14th
5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
