The Press and the Presidency: It’s Complicated!

About the Program:
From Thomas Jefferson, who maintained that "advertisements" were the "most truthful part of a newspaper," to Jimmy Carter, who lamented that his ancestors included "thieves...and journalists," the relationship between our presidents and the press has been a long and tumultuous affair.

On this edition of The Kalb Report, experts from both sides of the White House gates join moderator Marvin Kalb to discuss the sometimes nasty but always necessary relationship between the President of the United States and the press corps. Guests include former ABC News White House correspondent Ann Compton, Fox News Chief White House Correspondent Ed Henry, USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, former White House press secretary Mike McCurry, and historian Harold Holzer, author of “Lincoln and the Power of the Press.”

The Kalb Report series is underwritten by a grant from Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation and co-produced by The National Press Club Journalism Institute, the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs, Harvard's Shorenstein Center, University of Maryland University College and the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland.

Location:
The Kalb Report is produced before a live studio audience in the main ballroom of the National Press Club, located on the 13th floor of the National Press Building, 14th and F streets, NW, Washington, D.C.
