Local History – Civic Skills

Knute Berger: Editor-at-Large, Cascade PBS; Writer and Host, Mossback’s Northwest

Knute Berger explores the value of local history in rooting us in place and informing our civic process. In his work at Cascade PBS, he tells stories that explore our history from the perspective of now, investigating the complexity of our past and how our region has changed over time. He works to build our historical foundation to enable citizens to engage in the civic process with greater creativity and sense of possibility.
