From Soundbites to Solutions:
Bias, Punditry and the Press in the 2008 Election

Unlike any other election cycle, the issues of race, gender, age, and class have dominated public and private conversations around the country over the course of this election. Our nationally recognized panelists will debate and discuss how the media creates and reflects public perceptions on presidential candidates. A fascinating conversation you won't want to miss!
