Guests: Joe Mathewson and Greg Stohr
Is the public served well by the relationship between the Fourth Estate and the third branch of government?
That’s the question put to Joe Mathewson, author of the new book “The Supreme Court and the Press: The Indispensable Conflict,” which chronicles the often contentious relationship between the Supreme Court and the press.
The book also explores how the Court and the press provide crucial services for each other: The press educates the public about the Court’s actions, and the Court is charged with protecting the freedoms on which the press relies.
Greg Stohr, the Supreme Court correspondent for Bloomberg News, will moderate the conversation.
Mathewson is a lecturer at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and is a former Supreme Court reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
A book signing will follow the program.
The event was introduced by John Maynard, from the Newseum.
