Local News in Okaloosa County

ECPRO Presents a Panel Discussion on “Local News in Okaloosa County” Featuring Local Reporters

Local news serves as the backbone of communities worldwide, providing essential information that impacts daily lives. Unlike national or international news, local news focuses on issues, events, and stories that are directly relevant to residents within a specific geographical area. The significance of local journalism cannot be overstated, as it fosters community engagement, holds local authorities accountable, and helps maintain an informed citizenry.

Please join the Emerald Coast Public Relations Organization for a Lunch and Learn on January 21, 2025, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, 34 Miracle Strip Pkwy SE, Fort Walton Beach.

Our topic will be “Local News in Okaloosa County” and will feature the following guest speakers for a panel discussion:

• Collin Bestor, Northwest Florida Daily News
• Christopher Saul, Mid Bay News
• Lori Smith, Life Media Group
• Jared Williams, Get The Coast
