Dean Stone Lecture
Former
Baltimore Sun editor William K. Marimow, who was named managing editor
of National Public Radio in late March, will be the School of Journalism’s
Dean Stone speaker on April 22 at UM.
Marimow’s lecture is titled “Lying to the Press and the
People — A Debit for Democracy.” He said he will address
the damage lying causes to the careers of public officials and to
the public, which is deprived of the information its citizens need
to made informed decisions about public affairs. The lecture will
be at 7:30 p.m. in the University Center Theater, on the third floor
of the University Center.
Marimow, who has been a journalist for 30 years, twice won a Pulitzer
Prize for his reporting at the Philadelphia Inquirer, and was a Nieman
Fellow at Harvard during 1982-83. He joined the Sun in 1993 and was
named editor in 2000. During his tenure the Sun won three Pulitzer
Prizes and was a finalist for eight others.
The Dean Stone Lecture is part of a series of events scheduled by
the journalism school for April 22-23, which include a groundbreaking
ceremony for the school’s new Don Anderson Hall at 1:30 p.m.
April 22.
On April 23 the school will award $80,000 in scholarships at its annual
Dean Stone banquet, which begins at 5 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Parkside.
Reservations are required for the banquet and can be made by calling
the school at (406) 243-4001. All other events are open to the public
at no charge.
