[Note from Matthew Gaylor: I would advise you to get there early as Capital University is expecting a large turnout. I've gotten word that some out of town Communist protestors might be coming to disrupt the event. I've already sent this info to Professor Lawson who advises me that there will be extra security.]
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2001 13:51:17 -0500 From: "Robert A. Lawson" <rlawson@capital.edu> Organization: Capital University To: Matthew Gaylor <freematt@coil.com> Subject: John Stossel to Speak at Capital University.
ABC News and 20/20 correspondent, John Stossel, will be speaking at Capital University on Monday, March 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Mees Hall Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to all students, faculty, staff, and the public-at-large.
Stossel, a winner of 19 Emmy awards, is known for his "Gimme a Break" segments on 20/20 and his various hour-long TV specials such as Greed, Is America Number 1?, Sex, Drugs and Consenting Adults, and Are We Scaring Ourselves to Death?, among others. He is clearly the most libertarian member of the mainstream media.
His lecture topic is "Pandering to Fear: The Media's Crisis Mentality." Every day, newspapers and television warn us of new dangers in our complex modern world. With the world apparently getting more dangerous all the tim, we have to wonder how life expectancy keeps on growing. John Stossel will explore the real risks in modern life, why the media hypes unrealistic fears, and why readers and viewers fall for it.
