The League of Women Voters of Snohomish County marked its 102nd birthday with an online meeting. It celebrated the origin of our national organization that has been vital to promotion and preservation of democratic representation for the past century. It featured a study in process that is examining the impact of journalism in local communities, and what happens to civic engagement in those communities when local journalism is diminished in scope. Additionally, it honored The Daily Herald with its Democracy in Action award in recognition for its “defense of democracy through superior journalism.”
