SPJ learns about media and politics

This year’s first meeting of the TCU chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists brought together a panel of professionals from the departments of journalism and politics, including a former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, to discuss the relationship between media and politics Wednesday night.

Jim Wright, who resigned from the post of speaker in 1989, said the experiences he had as a political figure helped him believe that most media organizations are fair in reporting. However, some reporters had a tendency to pick on Capitol Hill, said Wright, currently an adjunct political science professor.
