This October, New Hampshire Public Radio in partnership with The Granite State News Collaborative, will hold a series of forums with gubernatorial and congressional candidates to explore in-depth the issues that directly affect New Hampshire voters.
The dates for each forum will be determined after New Hampshire’s primary election on Sept. 10, and each event will be co-moderated by a rotating crew of journalists from NHPR and local newsrooms across New Hampshire.
Forums will be open to the public and broadcast live on NHPR and live streamed on YouTube, courtesy of New Hampshire PBS. News articles covering the forum will be produced by local news partners and available through Granite State News Collaborative partner outlets, including NHPR.
“This is truly a team effort,” said Melanie Plenda, Executive Director of The Granite State News Collaborative. “I think it shows our collective commitment to work together to make sure our communities have the information they need.”
