Description

We went OUTSIDE!

Jenna and Domenic met up with a bevy of other journalists for an informal gathering of community, support and yes- even networking.

The event, Media Mixer, is the creation of Samantha Stokes, a business and technology journalist who was hired right before the pandemic-induced lockdown. She, like a lot of other younger journalists spent their first few years in the industry missing out on the newsroom camaraderie that turn election night pizza parties into life-long memorable events.
