The first, “News--Can It Be Fair, Accurate and Objective?” is set for 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 3, in 127 Memorial Hall. Given by Marcy McGinnis, senior vice president of CBS News Coverage, the lecture will examine how news is “displayed” by the media.

The second, “The End of Truth: Power, the News Media and the People’s Right to Know,” is set for 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 16, in 104 Gore Hall. The lecture, which will be given by Charles Lewis, will further expand on the theme of the first lecture in examining the importance of balanced reportage.
