12:00PM- 12:50PM – “Modern Day Reporting of Consumer Affairs”

Susan Hogan will be discussing her experience as a consumer affairs reporter for NBC4 Washington. Through her NBC4 Responds campaign, Hogan works with a team of specialized producers to investigate consumer complaints. Their goal is to recoup money and get refunds consumers deserve. She will share anecdotes and facts of NBC4’s contributions to advocating for local individuals and groups of consumers. Susan will demonstrate how the power of the press can impact change in the community and create uncertainty for organizations that fail to deliver as promised.
