In response to demand, the NKyTribune and PEN America are offering a re-run of our popular “Real News, Real Issues, Fake News, Fraudulent News” community conversation at an evening gathering May 30.
This will accommodate those who couldn’t get away for the morning community conversation offered in March, said Judy Clabes, editor/publisher of the NKyTribune.
It will be held at the Kenton County Library-Erlanger on May 30, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Refreshments will be available. It is open and free to the public.

Mike Phillips will return with an expanded presentation on the issue. The presentation will set the stage for small group discussions to follow.
Mike Phillips
Phillips, whose long and storied career included the Cincinnati Post as assistant metro editor and the Kentucky Post as managing editor. He also worked as editorial development director for E.W. Scripps, editor-in-chief of Scripps newspapers in Hollywood, Fl., and Bremerton, WA. Now retired, he currently serves as a member of the board of directors of the Ohio Justice & Policy Center and is actively engaged in community service. He and his wife, Nancye, live in Fort Mitchell.
“For the evening discussion, we’ll focus solely on Mike Phillips’ thoughtful, analytical presentation which spurs lively discussion — solutions focused — on what individuals can and should do to be more savvy consumers of news,” said Clabes.
PEN America is providing underwriting for the program, one of a series of community conversations the NKyTribune is offering throughout the year. PEN America, founded in 1922, works to ensure that people everywhere have the freedom to create literature, to convey information and ideas and to express their views.
The NKyTribune, nonprofit public-service online newspaper, is committed to providing reliable news to Northern Kentucky, filling the gap left by the demise of The Kentucky Post.
