Globe journalists who worked on "68 Blocks" series will discuss their
experiences living in and covering a Boston neighborhood marred by
violence, but also brimming with humanity and hope.
 More Details about the Event
The Boston Globe’s five-part "68 Blocks" series provided an
unprecedented look inside the Bowdoin-Geneva enclave in Boston’s
Dorchester neighborhood.
In a project noteworthy for its depth and
scope, Globe reporters lived in the neighborhood from May through
September 2012, moving past stereotypes and gaining an intimate
understanding of the community’s culture.
Members of the community featured in the series will share their perspective:
- "Big Nate" Davis, who lost one son to gun violence and the other to jail, and
- Father Richard "Doc" Conway, the priest who walks the
neighborhood’s streets to connect with and help community
members.
Journalists, a photographer, and videographer will discuss their
experiences creating a series that integrated exhaustive reporting,
narrative storytelling, and specialized use of innovative social and
digital media tools.
The reporting team gained unparalleled access to paint a dynamic
picture of the Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood. The discussion
will conclude with a Q&A session with the audience.
