From the Cook County Historical Society • March 17, 2022

The 2022 World Press Institute Fellowship Program will be stopping in Grand Marais at the end of March and will take part in a public forum on journalism at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts. The public roundtable discussion is set for Tuesday, March 29 at 7 pm and will feature a question-and-answer session with the 9 visiting journalists. Moderating the event will be Marja Erickson, board president of the Cook County Historical Society (event sponsor).

The program this year has journalists from Argentina, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, China (Hong Kong), Finland, Germany, India, Iran and Nigeria. Participants are stopping here during their three week MN tour before heading out on a five week tour of the United States. While the journalists get a taste of rural America during their stop in Grand Marais, the event gives area residents and visitors a chance to gather insight and perspectives of journalists from around the world.

This event is free and open to the public.
