One this episode of "Reporting," we bring you an extended cut of our 2017 Northeast Ohio news round up, hosted by ideastream's Tony Ganzer:
As we come into a new year it’s a good time to gather round the fire, or around the microphones in Studio 4 to chat about the year that was, and maybe the year to be. With that in mind, ideastream's Tony Ganzer joined reporters Mark Urycki, Elizabeth Miller, Nick Castele, Adrian Ma, and Ashton Marra.
This year has been a big one for news, we saw a so-called travel ban from the White House affect refugee resettlement in Northeast Ohio, we saw a Cleveland mayoral race bring in the fourth term for Frank Jackson, we saw the Cavs reshuffle their roster after falling short in the NBA finals…but the discussion starts with the story of Puerto Rico.
Hurricane Maria devastated the island, and many of ideastream's reporters have been involved in keeping up with the Puerto Rican community in Northeast Ohio in how they responded to the devastation.
