Q***r voices and perspectives deserve to be heard across Iowa, and local journalism plays an important role in making that happen.

Join Iowa Public Radio’s Northeast Iowa Reporter, Gavin McGough, for a community coffee meetup in Dubuque! It’s a chance to share story ideas, discuss issues that matter to our community, or simply connect with fellow public radio listeners.

As Gavin shares:
“I joined IPR as the northeast Iowa reporter in June of this year. It's been a pleasure to meet many IPR listeners in this part of the state, and I'd love to meet you as well!

This Wednesday, I'll be at Convivium Urban Farmstead Coffee House in Dubuque to chat with IPR fans in the area. This is a great opportunity to share any story ideas or issues that matter to your community — or just say hi and enjoy a coffee with fellow public radio fans. Stop in any time from 9–11 a.m.!”

📅 When: Wednesday, October 14, 9–11 a.m.
📍 Where: Convivium Urban Farmstead, 2811 Jackson St., Dubuque
☕ What to expect: Complimentary coffee, conversation with Gavin, and an opportunity to share the stories and issues that matter to you.

Consider stopping by, bringing your ideas, and connecting with Gavin. Please share this opportunity with friends who may be interested!
