February 22, 2023, 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM ONLINE A recent survey found that most Americans do not know that their local prosecutor is elected. How could that be? One possible answer to that question may lie in the media coverage that prosecutors receive. Outside of large cities, prosecutors do not receive much media coverage, and the coverage that they do receive rarely mentions that they are an elected office — even in an election year. Join the Prosecutors and Politics Project for an important discussion about media coverage of prosecutors and their elections, featuring journalists and prosecutors! Panelists include UNC Hussman Associate Professor Ryan Thornburg. Other panelists: Mark Dupree, Sr., District Attorney in Wyandotte County, Kansas Julie Gunnigle, Legal Director, Arizona NORML George Joseph, Senior Reporter for The City Will Knight, Attorney, Maricopa County, Arizona A recent survey found that most Americans do not know that their local prosecutor is elected.
