Through its annual Hometown Debate Series, IOPL raises awareness of key issues by bringing newsmakers to communities across the state.
This four-event series brings together elected officials and policy experts for a balanced debate on some of North Carolina’s most important issues.
In its eighth year, the Hometown Debate Series is a collaboration between Spectrum News 1 North Carolina and the North Carolina Institute of Political Leadership, with a new topic each year. Spectrum’s Loretta Boniti is scheduled to return as moderator.
An abbreviated version will air on Spectrum News on Sundays at both 11:30 am and 8:30 pm. The debates will then be available in their entirety on www.spectrumlocalnews.com after their initial airing.
