Virtual Event: Reporting on Drug Policy and the Pennsylvania Legislative Agenda

Join the Central Pennsylvania Scholars Strategy Network for a timely virtual conversation with two leading Pennsylvania journalists: Stephen Caruso (Spotlight PA), who covers the governor’s office and state legislature, and Ed Mahon (Spotlight PA and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), whose reporting focuses on the opioid epidemic and medical cannabis.

The discussion will center on how journalists report on drug policy issues—from opioids to cannabis—in Pennsylvania and how state legislative dynamics shape both policy outcomes and public understanding. This event will be of interest to scholars engaged in public policy, health policy, governance, and research translation.
