ONE YEAR LATER: NEW DYNAMIC OR SAME OLD?

posted by Michael Chihak

Friday's Arizona Week will focus on the ramifications of the shooting tragedy of last Jan. 8.

The program will feature a panel of veteran journalists who covered the news that day and in the days that followed as the story took on many manifestations politically, socially, in terms of community and healing.

The journalists will discuss Tucson and Arizona as they are today, comparing with a year ago to gauge any changes.

They also will look ahead to the continued push for civility in politics and public discourse, for any signs of added resources for the mentally ill and their issues and for what political change the events of Jan. 8 may yet bring about.
