We don’t believe in reporting the news from our desks. Led by Community Journalism Director Lexi Goodnough, our staff are on the ground, meeting residents where they live, work and play.
Here is where you can find us the week of Aug. 10-14. Got an idea of where we should head next? Email us at lexi@tulsaflyer.org about how we can connect with your community.
