Examining Coverage of Major News Events of the Past 5 Decades
Sunday April 6, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am PDT
W304
This panel we will examine several major news events of the past 5 decades. In 1989, the world watched as ‘Tank Man’ stopped tanks at Tiananmen Square. Fifty thousand demonstrators gathered at the World Trade Center Conference in Seattle to protest. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Gifford was shot on a sunny Saturday morning in Tucson. The attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 held the nation’s attention for years after the attack. Our panelists, several who were involved in the coverage, will reexamine how news organizations provide coverage of breaking news.
Moderator: Fritz J. Messere, SUNY - Oswego
Panelists: Richard Vogel, retired from Culver Stockton College; Nicole Clarity, Hofstra University; Teresa (Terry) Filipowicz, Pima Community College; Nancy L Bartley, Green River College
