Journalists on Journalism
Dear ,
Not since the Watergate era have journalists—for better or worse—been front and center in our political debates. In newspaper parlance, theirs are the “above the fold” names—the reporters whose stories get attention and whose nuanced insights into current events make them essential resources for anyone who wants to know how Washington works.
In this timely series beginning October 5, get an inside look at today's news business from several acclaimed journalists who know what it takes to bring you the news you need, if not want.
Join Lesley Stahl, correspondent for 60 Minutes; Jim VandeHei, CEO of Axios; Mara Liasson, NPR correspondent, National Politics, Washington desk; and Jim Lehrer, former executive editor and news anchor for the PBS NewsHour as they share their unique perspectives on the changing news business, and offer some terrific stories from the field.
