Education Forum - "The Media: Driving Education Policy?"
Perhaps more than any other professional field, the education agenda-- or at
least the public's perception of it--is greatly influenced by the media and
columnists. This discussion with leading print columnists will explore the
public's view of American education, and how this perspective is shaped by
the news media. Speakers will discuss how they choose their stories and
story angles. In addition, we will look for solutions as to how educators
and scholars can work with the press to help focus the public's attention on
key practice, policy, and research issues.
Speakers will include: Bob Herbert, New York Times; Derrick Jackson, Boston
Globe; and Kathleen McCartney, Dean and Gerald S. Lesser Professor in Early
Childhood Development.
