April Speaker Series
Tim Gleason talks freedom of the press under the first amendment
Join us Tuesday, April 28 when Tim Gleason, professor emeritus and former dean of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, examines the current state of freedom of the press under the first amendment.
The United States has experienced a steep decline in press freedom in the past year. Changes under the current administration were cited as a primary factor, including funding cuts to public media, the closure of Voice of America, and the stigmatization of critical journalism.
