Join us at 2152 Central Ave. on May 16, from 6-8 to hear from business and tech reporter David Louie.
TV reporters get at most a couple of minutes to tell a news story, but for every one of them, there are back stories — what happened behind the scenes that doesn’t get told. David’s going to share some of the memorable moments and anecdotes from his 50-plus years on Bay Area TV that span the 1970’s through the early 2020’s.
You probably know David from his decades on Bay Area TV. He joined the Channel 7 “News Scene” team back in 1972 during the Van Amburg, Jerry Jensen, and Pete Giddings era. He ended up retiring from the same station just over 50 years later, a feat few can claim. Over those years, he covered an estimated 12,000 stories and worked under nine general managers and seven news directors. He has both received and given out Emmy Awards, and he’s a member of the Television Academy’s Silver and Gold circles.
Doors open at 6:00 PM. We will have hors d’oeuvres at 6, the talk will begin at 6:30 moderated by award winning journalist Rosie Lee Allen, followed by audience Q&A.
