Every year, a panel of judges selects the Pell Center Rhode Island Story of the Year. The UHIP debacle was voted 2017’s top story.

Also every year, The Pell Center selects a National Story of the Year. For 2017, Pell Center director Jim Ludes and I decided to announce the winner on our Story in the Public Square TV and radio broadcasts this weekend.

We did so with a distinguished guest: Evelyn Farkas, national security analyst for NBC and former deputy assistant secretary of defense.

As you will hear, there was intense competition for the Top National Story.

Welcome to the Journal Star's third panel conversation on sexual misconduct. This podcast series is the result of the Journal Star’s monthly community meetings with readers.

Last month, a group of Peoria women -- including Sherry Cannon and led by Bradley Professor Portia Adams -- talked in frank and disturbing terms about their experiences as victims of sexual harassment. A week later we had a panel of men talking about the issue.

This installment brings members from both panels together for a conversation on how we got here and what’s next.

The panel includes Jessie McGown, Mo Washburn, Sally McKee and Sherry Cannon. Executive Editor Dennis Anderson is the moderator.

The News Herald staff talks off the cuff about their take on episode 4's highlights and lowlifes.
