    Fresno Bee reporters are used to conducting the interviews. But at a "Meet Your Bee Journalists" event next month, we'll talk a bit about what we do, then be on the receiving end of questions from you, the audience. The free gathering will be downtown 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 18, at the Factory 41 at 2721 Cesar Chavez Blvd., Fresno. RSVP for our "Meet Your Bee Journalists" here. For reporters to be effective, they must know their community: What issues matter to residents?

    Are you a Fresno-area resident and feel like you’re constantly defending our community’s good name? Do you feel like there’s just too much negative talk about Fresno and its prospects? I hear it, too, and wonder why, because there’s so much to love about this town and region. The esteem-sucking jabs aren’t just from others. They also come from those who live here. Does Fresno have a self-esteem issue?

Avian flu fears piquing in Central California, aka Central Valley as dairy cows and chickens become infected. A few people, too, but no human-to-human yet. https://t.co/Q4jDkzADwH

So proud to say I’m now a @columbiajourn Sulzberger graduate. This was an intense, transformative experience that I highly recommend. Thanks to our coach @coreyford and Kate Kennedy and my class of brilliant journalists who put up with me and gave so much of their wisdom.
