Who decides which stories get told? A scrappy group of women and LGBTQ+ journalists buck the white male-dominated status quo, banding together to launch The 19th*, a digital news startup aiming to combat misinformation. A story of an America in flux, and the voices often left out of the narrative, the documentary Breaking the News shows change doesn’t come easy.

A post-screening panel discussion features OPB news reporters Jenn Chavez, Anna Griffin and Alex Zielinski.

The film is open-captioned and the venue is wheelchair accessible.

This screening is made possible with the support of the Regional Arts + Culture Council, ITVS and SE Uplift
