Spring interns enjoyed their second SMLS of the semester, which featured the power couple, Jim and Kate Lehrer.
Jim Lehrer has quite the resume, working as the executive producer and host of "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer" on PBS. Jim has also moderated 11 presidential debates and has won numerous awards for his work in journalism.
Kate Lehrer has written four novels in addition to short stories, essays and book reviews. She has also been a frequent panelist on the Diane Rehm Show's "Reader's Review" on National Public Radio.
The discussion was moderated by Larry D. Lauer, who is a pioneer in integrated marketing and strategic communication for academic institutions and nonprofit organizations.
The SMLS was broken down into 3 major subjects
- The origin of NewsHour
- The role of new media and journalism
- The world of books
