KCET Los Angeles presents SoCal Connected, a new hard-hitting prime-time weekly television news program that examines the issues and people of Southern California. The program features a repertory company of some of the best broadcast journalists in Southern California, including contributors Lisa Ling, Judy Muller, and Patt Morrison.

SoCal Connected debuts with an unsettling look at the biggest issue in Southern California and the nation today-the economy. Lisa Ling (ABC, CNN, Nat Geo) looks at foreclosure from a different point of view-from the people left behind. For the past few years, the Inland Empire has been one of the fastest growing counties in the state of California. But now the Inland Empire is pretty much the poster child for the foreclosure crisis.

Look for Lisa Ling’s part in the debut of SoCal Connected.
