Many of the presentations are part of our successful First Amendment and Free Press program. This program provides an opportunity for citizens to discuss the Constitution with attorneys and academics,
eliminating misconceptions about the First Amendment and the freedoms it protects
.
The program also provides a chance for local journalists to pull back the curtain to their newsrooms and explain how they and their colleagues do their jobs — an essential part of
building trust between citizens and the reporters covering their communities
.
NEFAC is
providing much needed civics education in classrooms throughout New England
. We're speaking to high school and college students through campus visits and webinars.
