MEMBER EVENT: Voices of Our Times - Carl Bernstein
The Annual Voices of Our Times Series is excited to welcome iconic journalist, Carl Bernstein, for a talk and book signing. The talk will begin in Loretta Spencer Hall, followed by a book signing.
Few journalists in America’s history have had the impact on their era and their craft as Carl Bernstein. For forty years, from All the President’s Men to A Woman In Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bernstein’s books, reporting, and commentary have revealed the inner-workings of government, politics, and the hidden stories of Washington and its leaders. The author of five best-selling books, Bernstein is currently at work on several multi-media projects: a dramatic TV series about the U.S. Congress; a feature film with director Steven Soderbergh; and a memoir about growing up at a Washington newspaper during the Kennedy era. He also appears regularly on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, is a contributing editor of Vanity Fair magazine, and has been an on-air political analyst for CNN. His most recent book was the national bestseller A Woman In Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, acclaimed as the definitive biography of its subject, published by Knopf.
At the podium, Bernstein addresses the increasing dysfunction of American’s governmental institutions and its devolving political-media culture. Though his presentation is a hard-eyed analysis, it is accompanied by rapier wit and constructive ideas for reversing the most consequential areas of national decline: the U.S. Congress (“the broken branch”); an increasingly secretive American presidency; an economy tilted against middle-class citizens; and a media landscape littered with misinformation and disinformation. His presentation – as regular viewers of Morning Joe and other broadcasts on which he appears can attest – is filled with both good humor and acute examination.
