Carolina Public Press continues its celebration of 10 years of investigative and public interest journalism in North Carolina. In the fourth event in our free virtual Ten for NC series, CPP convened a panel of writers inspired by North Carolina on Aug. 19.
Panelists Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, Jacqueline “Jack” deGroot, Jaki Shelton Green, Terry L. Kennedy and Ed Southern discussed “place” as inspiration, challenges facing NC’s literary landscape and how writers inspired by North Carolina can support students, teacher and each other. Executive Director Angie Newsome moderated, along with Kennedy and Southern. The event was sponsored by Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
The Ten for NC series is designed to help readers go in-depth on issues and interests of North Carolinians. The video of the event is below.
