PITCH ASSIGN1

The Texas Tribune Fest will take place during the last week of September. The Festival hosts panels that cover several topics from the state of journalism, politics, education, etc. This year, one of the panels is titled “The Consequences of Gun Violence.” The panel is described to be a sit-down conversations with survivors of “mass-casualty shootings.”

Since we live in a state that is so pro-gun, I think this is an important topic to cover, especially by including stories of survivors of gun violence.

The panel will take place on Saturday, Sept. 29 at 9 a.m. at the Central Presbyterian Church as part of TribFest. I will be covering the festival for social media for Hilltop Views, and will cover this panel on my personal social media for Story Assignment 1.
