Money, Media, and the Battle for Democracy’s Soul (2012)
April 24, 2012 | Lincoln Center Campus
Current national debates have focused on the growing political influence of money and mass media in the electoral arena and its implications for public trust, integrity and the democratic values of an informed, active, and unduly influenced citizenry. With the backdrop of the 2012 elections, this conference featured a distinguished multidisciplinary group of legal scholars, policymakers, political leaders, and journalists (including former U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, NBC News journalist Chuck Todd, and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart) to address important topics of public dialogue.
