The forum, moderated by WECT's Jon Evans, posed three types of questions, including 'umbrella' questions for all candidates to answer, and individualized questions for specific candidates generated from the three newsrooms and from the audience and public. Reporters Kelly Kenoyer and Ben Schachtman (WHQR), Michael Praats (WECT), and Amy Passaretti (Port City Daily) posed those candidate-specific questions, and gave voice to the audience questions so they could press for follow-up.
Kelly Kenoyer and Ben Schachman unpack it all in episode.
