For the Catholic Herald
Columnist, political analyst and author Steven V. Roberts
will discuss "From The Times to Twitter: The Role of Media in
the 2012 Campaign" Oct. 23 in the Reinsch Library Auditorium
at Marymount University, 2807 N. Glebe Rd., Arlington, at
7:30 p.m.
A journalist for more than 45 years, Roberts has covered 11
presidential campaigns. His 25-year career with the The
New York Times included assignments as bureau chief in
Los Angeles and Athens, Greece, and as congressional and
White House correspondent. He also served as a senior writer
at U.S. News for seven years, specializing in national
politics and foreign policy. Roberts and his wife, journalist
Cokie Roberts, write a nationally syndicated newspaper
column.
Roberts is the author or coauthor of four books and appears
regularly as a political analyst on Washington-based
television and radio programs. He is also a substitute host
on NPR's "Diane Rehm Show." Since 1997, Roberts has been the
Shapiro Professor of Media and Public Affairs at George
Washington University. His many honors include the Dirksen
Award for covering Congress and the Wilbur Award for
reporting on religion and politics.
Roberts will be Marymount's 2012 Marya McLaughlin Lecturer in
Media Communications. Marya McLaughlin was one of the first
women to have a major on-air role in network television. In
the 1970s, she reported on the national political scene for
CBS and was a frequent contributor to radio programs like
"Washington Week" and "Capitol Cloakroom." The McLaughlin
lectureship serves as an ongoing reminder of her
contributions to broadcast journalism.
