SUMMARY:Walter Cronkite: And That's The Way It Is
DESCRIPTION:2016 marks the 100th birthday of Walter Cronkite. In an era when the “mainstream media” is a convenient whipping boy for any politician upset by unfavorable coverage\, it is hard to imagine that at one time a network news anchorman was voted “the most trusted man in America.”  How times have changed! \nWalter Cronkite was one of the most widely read news reporters covering World War II.  Cronkite’s reporting on the war was read by millions of Americans and he was highly respected for his clear concise prose and great ability to explain complex events. After the end of the Second World War\, he came back and worked for CBS news. \nAlthough never one of Edward R Murrow’s “boys\,”  Cronkite quickly built a sterling reputation at CBS for superb reporting\, insightful analysis\, and calm\, steady work at the anchor booth.   When the network decided to go to a 30 minute nightly national newscast\, Walter Cronkite was the logical choice to be the anchorman. He was the man America turned to to learn about the space program\, political conventions\, elections\, Vietnam\, and\, most memorably\, the murder of Pres. John F. Kennedy. \nPlease join us for a fascinating and memorable multimedia presentation looking at the life and career of one of the most respected American broadcast journalists of all time. \n Please Note: There is a fee to attend this program and registration is required\, but easy. Please contact the venue for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Nellie Bly
DESCRIPTION:Nellie Bly was the of the most groundbreaking female journalists in American history! \nShe began her journalistic career before she was 20 years old. Working in a time when very few women had ever achieved a great deal of success in journalism\, Nelly Bly broke every mold and every expectation as to what a woman could do in the ‘man’s world’ of newspaper reporting Smart\, fearless\, and determined\, Nellie Bly fearlessly exposed the harsh\, unfair working conditions for mill workers in Pittsburgh\, drawing the ire of the richest people in the city. She then served as her newspaper\,s foreign correspondent in Mexico before being run out of the country for exposing governmental corruption. This dangerous assignment made the petite Ms. Bly the first woman ever to be an accredited foreign correspondent for an American newspaper! \nWanting greater challenges and rejecting the stereotypical notion that female reporters should cover “women’s stories\,” Nelly Bly moved to New York City. In her first assignment\, for Joseph Pulitzer\, she risked her life going undercover in a “mental asylum” in New York. For 10 harrowing days\, she was locked in an asylum where she was starved\, tortured\, and unable to secure her own release. Her bombshell reporting caused the New York City asylum to be shut down\, and New York agreed to major reforms in the way they treated people with mental health issues. \nToday\, Nelly Bly is probably best remembered for being the first person ever to travel around the world in less than 80 days. If you are impressed with her accomplishments\, let me add that she did all of this before she was 25 years old! \n
