Members of our team will be at the public library Tuesday.

We are headed to Hawaii island next week!

Reporters, an editor and members of our social media and business team plan to post up from noon to 6 p.m. at the Kailua-Kona Public Library as part of our ongoing Pop-Up Newsroom series.

We hope to hear from community members about the issues that matter to you. We’re also available to answer any questions you may have about Civil Beat or our approach to journalism.

Reporter Thomas Heaton, editor Matthew Leonard, social media guru Ku‘u Kauanoe and Ben Nishimoto, vice president of operations and philanthropy, will all be attending.

In partnership with the Hawaii Public Library System, Civil Beat has been holding these informal pop-up events since October throughout the state. Come chat for a few minutes, linger for a few hours, whatever works.

In the meantime, you can check out our Pop-Up Newsroom landing page to see videos of what people in the communities we’ve visited have to say about their hometown.

Pop-Up Newsroom Aug. 29 stop at Kailua-Kona Public Library

As a local newsroom, Civil Beat has a unique public service role in times of crisis.

That’s why we’re committed to a paywall-free website and subscription-free content, so we can get vital information out to everyone, from all communities.

We are deploying a significant amount of our resources to covering the Maui fires, and your support ensures that we can pivot when these types of emergencies arise.
