For the Record | Screening and Panel Discussion

Wednesday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Richard and Lucille Ice Auditorium

Join us for a screening of For the Record, a 45-minute documentary that delves into the impact of journalism on small communities. 

In a small Texas Panhandle town, a few things have remained constant – cowboys, high school football, conservative voters, and the family-owned weekly newspaper, The Canadian Record. Publisher and editor Laurie Ezzell Brown strives to keep the town’s paper of record and her family’s legacy alive despite an oil bust, a global pandemic, and a growing mistrust for all media and, increasingly, her own editorials.
