A town hall meeting for Bryant, Benton and the rest of Saline County, sponsored by KARK 4 News of Little Rock, will be held at Brand New Church on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 6:30 p.m.
KARK is holding a series of town hall meetings across the region to incorporate the voice of viewers in its newscasts. This is the first meeting in the series.[more]
Lead anchors and other news team members will be on site in the week prior to the town hall meeting to further promote community participation, according to Brand New Church campus pastor Tony Knight. The event will allow residents to express what topics they feel are most relevant to their lives, community and beyond.
“The evening should be revealing not only to the news team but to participants as well,” Knight commented. “A tendency today among Americans in general is to comment sporadically via social networks, and though that method can be effective, there’s an added dimension, a connection if you will, when participants discuss common interests and issues face to face.”
Doors will open at 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
