Laura Bischoff tells it like it is. Responsible for bringing to light hard-hitting political stories, Laura wrote over 100 front-page stories in 2014, more than any other Dayton Daily News reporter.

Refreshments will be provided, and exhibits will feature columns from throughout Ms. Bischoff’s career.
