Join two career national journalists and explore changes in American news media through their lens inside all-news broadcast journalism since the 1980s, after the birth of NPR and CNN. Presenters Liane Hansen (former NPR) and Ralph Begleiter (former CNN) share personal perspectives from within the first nationwide all-news organizations, and offer observations about how media changes have affected American democracy and public perceptions of world affairs.
This is a pre-recorded class to be viewed on your own schedule. Viewing links are emailed to participants.
