Watch live from Madison: Pulitzer Prize winning journalists on how local news helps you

MADISON - Two award-winning journalists and the administrators of the Pulitzer Prizes will be on stage from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison for an evening of conversation about how local reporting protects your health and safety.

Pulitzer Prize winning reporters Corey Johnson, formerly of the Tampa Bay Times (now a reporter for ProPublica) as well as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Raquel Rutledge will highlight the impact of their recent stories on toxic conditions at a local factory, and electrical fires in rental properties. And they will field questions from the audience at the Overture Center.
