Pop-Up Stories: Growing Pains of Journalism

Pop-Up Stories

We are excited to host our next Pop-Up Stories event for the first time in Jackson!  It will be this Thursday at 7 pm at the Ella Sharp Museum. The theme is "random acts of kindness." Click here to sign up. Meanwhile, here's a story from our last event in Meridian Township.

A citizen journalist spends years imparting her love of investigative reporting onto her young son, only to realize she may not want him to become a journalist after all.

Meet Pop-up storyteller Alice Dreger as she tackled the theme of ‘growing pains’ at our last storytelling event in Meridian Township.
