Democracy under threat: Former CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter on the news industry’s future

Join us for a conversation with Brian Stelter, former chief media correspondent for CNN and host of “Reliable Sources.” Stelter’s abrupt departure from CNN came during a time of ongoing turmoil in the news industry across the United States, after “Reliable Sources” was canceled under the direction of the company’s new president. Stelter has since been named a Walter Shorenstein Media and Democracy Fellow at the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School.

Here & Now co-host Scott Tong will moderate the conversation with Stelter exploring his work to deepen public and scholarly understanding about the current state of the information ecosystem and its impacts on democratic governance.

Copies of Stelter’s book “Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth” will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith. Stelter will sign copies after the conversation.
