Please Note: This program has a rescheduled date (originally January 29, 2019) and will ultimately be held in the Ripley Center.
Nobody seems to have a neutral opinion about journalists, particularly now. They’re looked up to as a “last best hope for the republic” or denounced as “enemies of the people”—or something in between. Decide for yourself when you get some first-hand insights into today’s reporters as some of the best of the best discuss life in the trenches.
FEATURED JOURNALIST
April Ryan
As the only black female reporter covering urban issues from the White House, April Ryan has staked out a unique vantage point at the intersection of politics and race. Ryan, who has been a White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks since the Clinton era and is also a CNN political analyst, is a formidable presence at White House briefings, where she is known as a dogged questioner. She delivers to her radio listeners and the readers of her Fabric of America news blog sharp insights into urban and minority concerns.
Her latest book, Under Fire: Reporting from the Frontlines of the Trump White House (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers) is available for sale and signing after the program.
