Most of you are experts in your community and frequently you share ideas, give us the gossip and highlight issues that are potential fire starters for a new Civil Beat article. We want to get out of our newsroom bubble, let’s face it, for selfish reasons.
We’re more than happy to bore you rigid with the details.
We realize that many people, even if they are already readers of Civil Beat, don’t necessarily know exactly how our journalism works. The format is pretty loose, intentionally. (Alicia Lou/Civil Beat/2022)ĭepending on when you’ve dropped by you will have run into a single Civil Beater or more, usually already in the middle of a conversation with someone.

Generally you will have found us in a well-chilled meeting room in one of Hawaii’s state public libraries in places like Nanakuli, Hilo, Molokai or Kihei. If you’re one of the hundreds of people who has taken the time to meet with Civil Beat reporters, editors and business team members during the 18 events so far, this will sound familiar. Some of you arrive with full-blown Powerpoint presentations, a bunch of you have no idea who on earth we are, but you never fail to surprise. Rural areas feel left out of conversations that many of you say are too Honolulu-centric.
