The Office of Alumni and Parent Programs invites alumni and parents in the Los Angeles area to a reception and engaging lecture with Professor Robert Eisinger.
What Media Bias?The debate has raged for at least two decades. Does media bias exist? If so, is it conservative or liberal? Critics on the left insist the press leans right, allowing a vast conspiracy of think tanks and columnists to set a conservative, pro-corporatist media agenda. Conservative pundits similarly are convinced of an overwhelmingly liberal slant on social issues such as abortion, gay rights and religion. Are they both correct? Neither? Professor Eisinger will explore the nuances of media bias – what it is, how it is measured, and why it matters. Thursday, April 14 6 p.m. Reception 7 p.m. Presentation
