Connecticut Press Club and UJA-JCC Greenwich Partner to Present “Front Page News: The War Against the Media”
How has the role of the press changed under the current administration, and what’s in store for journalism looking ahead? Former New York Times columnist Sam Freedman, a tenured professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, will speak at 7:00 p.m. on October 25, 2017, at the Greenwich Arts Council, 299 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, Conn.
The lectured is co-sponsored by the Connecticut Press Club and UJA-JCC Greenwich, and will take place roughly one year after the 2016 presidential election. “The mainstream media have endured months of criticism, we’ve been maligned and undermined, discredited and demonized,” said Michele Turk, president of the Connecticut Press Club. “We are thrilled to have Sam Freedman speak about why real journalism matters more than ever.”
Leah Schechter, Assistant Director of UJA-JCC Greenwich added, “We are happy to partner with the Connecticut Press Club to bring a great speaker to Greenwich to share his unique perspective.”
The cost of the lecture is $18 in advance or $25 at the door. Register online at jccgreenwich.org or call 203-552-1818. This event is open to the public but seats are limited.
