SPJ
learns about media and politics
This years 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. |
