The Hollowing of the Calgary Herald Book Launch - Jeremy Klaszus (The Sprawl)

Description

"Join Wordfest for a passionate conversation about local news with Jeremy Klaszus, author of The Hollowing of the Calgary Herald , based on his 2023 Sprawlcast. He’ll be joined on stage by Herald alumni Bob Blakey, Catherine Ford, Gwendolyn Richards and Shelley Youngblut, who witnessed the newspaper’s heyday ­and its slow decline over the decades. The 75-minute show includes an audience Q & A and book signing. Independent Alberta publisher Hingston and Olsen will be on site with copies of the limited edition hardcover, which features electric green paper, foil-stamped iconography, and a letterpress-printed title band. It also includes an all-new afterword in which Klaszus receives and responds to “letters to the editor” about the initial report. You can also pre-order the book here for pick-up at the event. "
