The SCM Colloquium Series presents: Retro Report – After the Headlines Fade
How often does a great story dominate the headlines, only to be dropped from the news cycle? What really happened? Retro Report is a digital-first documentary news organization dedicated to examining stories after their headlines fade. Each of the short documentaries delivers a complete report of a major news event, and the resulting impact on our lives today. Register here.
