Is the partisan rancor and political violence that has consumed our discussions of the upcoming elections the news media’s fault? How ready is the press to address the racism, misogyny, and other biases in the political discourse?

Distinguished Professor M. Gessen and Karen Attiah, columnist for The Washington Post, will be joined by journalists and media analysts to ask — how can we claw back credibility among the public? Gessen and Attiah will be joined by Rick Perlstein, author of a best-selling series of histories on the rise of conservatism in the U.S., and a contributor to publications including the Nation, Village Voice, The New York Times, and, currently, The American Prospect. The conversation will be moderated by Kovie Biakolo, director of arts and culture reporting at Newmark.
