Truth to Power – Democratizing Information

Hosted by North Carolina Humanities Council
Hodding Carter III, journalist, statesman, educator, and former president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. 

How do we deal with the requirements of the First Amendment? Whose truth do we represent? Join Charles Thomas, Program Director of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, in a conversation with Hodding Carter III, distinguished journalist, statesman, educator, and former president and CEO of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Together, they will explore the limits that institutional frameworks place on journalism and how Pulitzer Prize winning independent editors have stepped outside those systems to singlehandedly confront community issues, make a call for action, and change the way the nation thinks.
