\u201cNow more than ever, we need journalists in our state capital holding our elected officials and wider government accountable for its actions,\u201d said Christopher Baxter, founding editor of Spotlight PA.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving lived for several years in the Lehigh Valley, I\u2019m thrilled to be able to provide this great journalism to the region to better inform, connect and empower residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
These four to five minute segments will air on PBS39 News Tonight<\/i> on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. They will cover topics such as how new legislation will impact police use-of-force <\/u><\/a>and b<\/u>reaking down PA’s murky business waiver program<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have 44 newsroom partnerships so far, but this will be the first public television partnership we\u2019ve had, so we are pioneering this from the ground up.
