Recognizing excellence in cannabis journalism: Chris Faraone, Talking Joints Memo

We have been fortunate in Massachusetts to have a strong cannabis news media landscape — from mainstream publications to alt weeklies to blogs — but few, if any, have been covering grass in Mass. as long as Chris Faraone.

EON is honored to recognize Talking Joints Memo Editor-in-Chief Chris Faraone, and other government and community leaders, for their contributions to equitable opportunity at our Celebration of Cannabis Equity Champions next Tuesday, Dec. 19 at 6 p.m. at New Dia Cannabis Co.’s Fenway location.

Chris is the editor and co-founder of Talking Joints Memo, a co-founder of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, and a longtime reporter for outlets including the Boston Phoenix and DigBoston.

Throughout his career, Chris has helped bring cannabis culture, business, politics, and policy into the mainstream discourse and he’s done an excellent job of keeping Talking Joints Memo readers abreast of key issues around the state’s new cannabis equity law.

Please join us next Tuesday, Dec. 19 to honor Chris Faraone’s contributions to and hear his thoughts on the future of equity in the industry.

Stay tuned as we announce our other honorees, or click here to learn more and register now.
