Why Murrow Matters in Digital Age on The Kalb Report March 23

We live in an age when people “read CNN” and “watch the Wall Street Journal.” As venerable news organizations transform themselves to survive and thrive in the digital world, new competitors are attracting huge audiences unencumbered by old infrastructures and empowered by technology. Not since Edward R. Murrow invented broadcast news during World War II has such a dynamic change transformed journalism. But will the standard of quality Murrow established withstand the new order?

On this edition of The Kalb Report, moderator Marvin Kalb will be joined by CNN Senior Vice President and Washington Bureau Chief Sam Feist, BuzzFeed White House reporter Evan McMorris-Santoro, Jon Sawyer, director of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, and Wall Street Journal Deputy Managing Editor Gabriella Stern.

The program starts at 8:00 p.m. The audience should arrange to be seated at least 20 minutes ahead of time. Admission is free but limited. Club members should reserve by calling 202-662-7539 (Karen Deem) or 202-662-7500 (front desk).
