In TCB’s inaugural reverse town halls, voters shared thoughts on the economy, housing, education and healthcare as candidates listened

On Oct. 7 and Oct. 8, Triad City Beat hosted its first reverse town-halls in an effort to center voters over candidates. The model, which was inspired by events hosted by the Current, an independent news outlet in Louisiana, is meant to allow voters to share their thoughts on issues that are most important to them. For these events, TCB identified a panel of four voters for each event, one in Winston-Salem and one in Greensboro. Then, the newsroom invited candidates in all races in those cities to come and listen. The result was an engaging, interactive event in which voters felt like they had a voice and candidates came away learning something new.
