Author Talk - Tom Rosenstiel in conversation with Marty Baron

Join us Saturday afternoon, October 17, for a compelling and timely author talk on Tom Rosenstiel's latest book, The Next Journalism - How the Press Must Change To Serve Democracy. After the author talk, books will be available to purchase. In The Next Journalism, Tom Rosenstiel--veteran journalist, researcher, novelist, and co-author of The Elements of Journalism--argues that the roots of journalism's failure are intellectual, not just financial or technological.
