WKU panel to discuss reporting of December tornadoes

Western Kentucky University's School of Media, as part of The John B. Gaines Family Lecture Series, is offering an evening looking back at the stories surrounding the December tornadoes and what was involved in sharing those stories with the journalists' communities.

The series includes a 5:30pmCT opening on Thursday, March 31, 2022, for an exhibit of 59 photographs documenting the impact of the tornadoes, taken by photographers throughout the region. The exhibit is on display through April 22 at the Jody Richards Hall Gallery, 1906 College Heights Blvd, Bowling Green, KY.


At 6:30pmCT on March 31, in the Jody Richards Hall Auditorium, a panel of four journalists will discuss their experiences telling their communities' stories as the events unfolded.

The panelists include meteorologist Trent Okerson of Paducah's WPSD-TV, photojournalist Grace Ramey at the Bowling Green Daily News, and Rick Rojas, a national correspondent for The New York Times. WKU Public Radio host Alana Watson will moderate the discussion.
