In an era of where the phrase “fake news” has become far too commonplace, our national media is under greater stress and scrutiny than ever before. After a decade of disruption that included a recession and rapidly changing technology, this occasional series will feature chats with and by some of the journalists who are getting it right. We are pleased to partner with our regional newspaper The Day on presenting this series.
A sampling of recent speakers has included:
Wall Street Journal reporter Julie Wernau on getting expelled from China after the start of the pandemic
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Schultz with her first novel, The Daughers of Erietown and teaching young journalists
Series moderator Maura Casey has been an editor, writer, and public speaker for 30 years, and has written editorials for four newspapers, including as a member of the editorial board of The New York Times
