MULTICULTURAL JOURNALISM SPEAKER SERIES FALL 2008
When Race Hits the Campaign Trail
Mon., Oct. 27, 5 p.m., Williman Room, Benson
In every aspect of this presidential campaign, race has been a factor. How well have the news media addressed race? What messages do journalists convey, intentionally or not? What are their obligations?

Panelists
