Democracy and the Press: The Role of Journals of Opinion
April 26, 2006
Jack Beatty senior editor, Atlantic Monthly
Victor Navasky publisher emeritus, The Nation
Robert Kuttner cofounder, The American Prospect

A panel of editors and publishers discuss the role of "journals of opinion" as alternative news sources in the era of Internet news and individual blogs. Victor Navasky, publisher emeritus of The Nation; Jack Beatty, senior editor of The Atlantic; and Robert Kuttner, cofounder of The American Prospect, examine the prospects for small journals committed to in depth reporting and analysis and thought-provoking partisanship.

Cosponsored by Brookline Adult and Continuing Education and the Friends of Fairsted.
