The Press and the Presidency: A lecture by David Greenberg

Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce a lecture with David Greenberg, Professor of Journalism and History at Rutgers University. He is also a contributing editor to Politico Magazine, where he writes a regular column, and he previously served as managing editor and acting editor of The New Republic.

Professor Greenberg specializes in American political and cultural history. His new book, Republic of Spin: An Inside History of the American Presidency (W.W. Norton, 2016) examines the rise of the White House spin machine, from the Progressive Era to the present day, and the debates that Americans have waged over its implications for democracy.

Some potential topics for Professor Greenberg's presentation include:

--The importance of the Free Press to our Democracy.

--The challenges this new administration poses to the First Amendment.

--The history of White House spin and where this administration stacks up.

This should be a fascinating and educational lecture, and I look forward to seeing many of you there. Note, the first thirty minutes will be reserved for group announcements/activities. The lecture will begin at 6:30. And you must sign up for a free ticket at the following link, as well as bring photo identification to gain access to the building.
