Veteran journalist Belva Davis to appear live from New Hampshire on This Week in Northern California
San Francisco, January 5, 2012 - KQED's This Week in Northern California is taking viewers to the presidential campaign trail in New Hampshire on Friday to cover the issues vital to Californians and their communities.
At 7:30pm Friday on KQED 9 the program will be live in New Hampshire with host and award-winning journalist Belva Davis and Carla Marinucci, the senior political writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. Davis and Marinucci are spending the week in the Granite State and they will discuss what they've learned from candidates, voters and political operatives about ideas to address the challenges facing California.
Davis says she looks forward to comparing how voters interact with candidates in New Hampshire and California.
"The greatest challenge journalists face today is helping people from all backgrounds feel that the democratic process still works and that their votes count - whether they live in one of the smallest or largest states in the union," she says.
