Michael Dukakis, former Massachusetts governor and former U.S. presidential nominee

RSVP is not required, but seating is limited.

The inspiration for this forum is legendary broadcaster Edward. R. Murrow, who used television to expose Senator Joseph McCarthy's controversial crusade against American citizens at the height of the Cold War. His legacy reminds a new generation of the power, and responsibility, of a free press. The Edward R Murrow Forum on Issues in Journalism is sponsored by the Communications and Media Studies Program, the Murrow Center of Public Diplomacy at The Fletcher School, and Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University.
