KING 5 Evening rang in 2021 in Seattle with “New Year’s at the Needle.” The show featured a first-ever virtual display from the Space Needle. The virtual display, which a Seattle-based entrepreneur helped develop, used sky-mapping technology and video footage to create a digital artistic presentation.

,1,A concerning amount of antisemitic incidents are happening across the United States. This comes after the U.S. saw a dramatic rise in antisemitic reports in 2021.
The Anti-Defamation League is pointing to social media as a root cause and saying combatting misinformation is more important than ever.

Berkovitz said his organization was targeted by hate speech a couple of months ago.
