Fractured Media In A Fractured Society
Come join us for a fascinating discussion of the failings of our media in maintaining its trust and credibility in our badly divided country, a talk by Robert M. Smith, author of his new book Suppressed—Confessions of a Former New York Times Washington Correspondent.
The talk will discuss how and why it is that American journalists have reached the point where only about one-quarter of their readers and viewers believe them. What this is doing to our already fractured country. And what is likely to happen in the future.
Space for this event is limited.
