Humphrey Bogart in Deadline USA (1952)

Print journalism in the U.S has experienced a precipitous decline, and has been replaced by a chaotic new world of digital content.

The implications of that shift for our politics, our economy and our culture are enormous.

On what sources today can Americans rely for news and commentary they can trust?

And how can traditional journalism compete for an audience without compromising its own standards?

On April 5, two veteran ink stained wretches will try to cast some light on these subjects, and generate some group discussion.

Whether you are a digital only reader, or a fan of old fashioned print, this lunch discussion should prove to be fun and informative.

Join us for this exciting luncheon!
