U-T’s Garrick Headlines SD Community Coalition Dec. 13 Town Hall
David Garrick, the San Diego Union-Tribune’s City Hall Reporter, will give a Saturday, December 13 presentation on “This Just In: Covering the City Hall Beat.”
The forum, part of a series organized by the San Diego Community Coalition, will take place from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. at the Logan Heights Library, 567 S. 28 Street. Following Garrick’s brief remarks, the floor will open for questions from the audience.
Garrick has had a front row seat in San Diego politics for more than a decade. When he started covering City Hall in 2014, Kevin Faulconer was the new Mayor, Todd Gloria was City Council President, and Sempra Energy occupied the tower at 101 Ash Street.
Before taking the City Hall beat, Garrick covered North County for 16 years for the U-T, North County Times, and Pomerado Newspapers. He earned his undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley and his master’s in journalism from New York University.
The next Coalition Town Hall forum will feature prominent land use attorney Everett Delano, who will speak on Saturday, January 17, at 10:30 a.m. at the La Jolla/Riford Library. The series is co-sponsored by Neighbors for a Better San Diego and is free to the public.
The Coalition is a resource for community leaders in 27 areas of the city who are working to curb predatory development and change City Hall’s culture of disrespect for constituents.
To keep communities informed and engaged, the Coalition publishes “This Week at City Hall,” a regular bulletin of upcoming Council and Planning Commission hearings with dates and times, significant agenda items, and instructions on how to participate via Zoom.
