One of the central missions of an independent media is to scrutinize important institutions and tell stories that powerful people may not want told. At its best, journalism serves as a check on corruption, public dishonesty and abuses of authority. But at a time when news organizations are under stress and readership and viewership are increasingly fragmented, can investigative reporters still do their job and still make a difference? Or are audiences inured to the culture of scandal?
GUEST: Lesley Stahl, Correspondent for 60 Minutes and former White House Correspondent for CBS under Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.
AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
