VIDEO: #CBCHAT with Civil Beat’s Founding Editor John Temple

/

On Wednesday we welcomed back Civil Beat’s founding editor, John Temple, for a discussion about the state of journalism in Hawaii and elsewhere.

This week also marks four years since Civil Beat opened its office in Honolulu.

We asked John to share some memories from the early days, his analysis of the state of investigative journalism locally and nationally, and much more.

He was interviewed by Chad Blair, who has been with Civil Beat since the beginning.

John is in town to give a keynote address to the Society of Professional Journalists Region 11 annual gathering.

The video below is about 45 minutes long.
