Tribute to Jess York with PK Hattis and Shmuel Thaler – Talk of the Bay

Talk of the Bay’s host PK Hattis is joined by longtime Santa Cruz Sentinel photographer Shmuel Thaler. Both Thaler and Hattis, who also works as a reporter at the Sentinel, are mourning the death of colleague Jess York, who died in January after battling a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer for more than four years.

York, who joined in the Sentinel in 2014, was known locally as a smart, empathetic, intrepid reporter that most recently covered crime, courts and homelessness. Thaler and Hattis will celebrate York’s life and the immense legacy of diligent, trustworthy reporting that she leaves behind.
