A nation must think before it acts.
February 14, 2023 | 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
In this month's People, Politics, and Prose, Ronald J. Granieri is joined by Heather Hendershot to revisit the TV coverage of the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. Hendershot and Granieri will discuss Hendershot's new book, When the News Broke, and the convention as a pivotal moment in American political history, a turning point in the public’s trust in national news sources.
People, Politics, and Prose with Ron Granieri features in-depth conversations with authors of recent books on international affairs and national security. Moderated by FPRI’s Ronald J. Granieri, each session will build on the book’s contents to discuss the author’s influences and motivations, relating everything to current events to elicit a broader understanding of the geographical, political, and historical context of our contemporary world.
