October 3 Panel discussion features national journalists
On October 3, five national journalists will be on campus to discuss their
work in covering economic and business news. Their visit will include a public
panel discussion titled "Beyond the Headlines" at 4:30 p.m. in Filene
Auditorium in Moore Hall. The panel will feature Greg Ip from The Wall
Street Journal, CNBC's Senior Economics Reporter Steve Leisman, Eduardo
Porter from the New York Times, Peter Coy from Business Week,
and Andrew Serwer from Fortune and CNN.
The discussion will be moderated by Andrew Samwick, director of the
Rockefeller Center, and is free
and open to the public.
The panel will discuss how economic and public policy issues are covered by
the media, the public's understanding of these issues, and how these issues are
likely to influence elections in the coming years. Panelists will also describe
factors that affect the media's role in reporting these issues. Finally, in our
rapidly changing environment influenced by technology, journalists will discuss
new methods of communication and their impact on the future of traditional
media.
"The news media play an essential role in shaping the discussion of
public policy issues through investigative reporting, analysis, and
commentary," says Samwick. "Our panel is made up of distinguished
journalists from both print and television outlets that have insights on how
the media are evolving in the Information Age. Each of them has a unique
vantage point on the economic and policy challenges facing the country and the
way those challenges will be portrayed in the media."
This program is cosponsored by the Rockefeller Center and Dartmouth's Office of Public
Affairs.
