The Poynter Institute will host another in its
popular series of Community Conversations: Award-winning broadcast
journalist Ted Koppel will be the featured guest at an event to be held
on Monday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m.
In a conversation entitled "Journalism in Crisis: Who's to Blame,"
Koppel will lead a candid discussion about the state of media, what got
us here and how we can preserve the integrity of news in what he calls
America's "Age of Entitlement." Poynter's Dean of Faculty, Keith Woods,
will moderate. Proceeds from tickets
($25) benefit Poynter's student journalists. Poynter will also provide
a video stream of the event on its Web site, Poynter.org, which can be
viewed during the live event and after as a replay.
A member of the Broadcasting Hall of Fame, Koppel has won every major award in broadcasting, including more than 40 Emmy Awards. He spent the first 42 years of his career at ABC News. From 1980 until 2005, he served as anchor and managing editor of "Nightline," one of the most honored broadcasts in television history.
Poynter's Community Conversations are designed to provide citizens with an opportunity to engage with journalists. Past participants have included New York Times chairman and publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.; Washington Post columnist William Raspberry; ABC's Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts and chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz; Gwen Ifill of PBS; and New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner, a Poynter alumna.
The conversation with Koppel is presented in partnership with Bank of America and these sponsors: The Stoner Organization, the St. Petersburg Times, WUSF and Tampa's Mise en Place.
