When critics decry the current state of our public discourse, one reliably easy target is television news. It’s too dumbed down, they say; it’s no longer news but entertainment, celebrity-obsessed and vapid. The critics may be right.
Join professor and author Charles L. Ponce De Leon as he traces the history of television news and explains how TV news has always walked a fine line between hard news and fluff.
There will be a book signing, with books available for purchase, following this event.
