LAW CLASS: Daniel Ellsberg on WNYC with Leonard Lopate

Filed under: Tips

Tip from David Gura, J2007 - dag2141[at]columbia

On Thursday, Leonard Lopate, on his eponymous show, on WNYC 93.9FM and AM820, will interview Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Since the Papers are the subject of our law class this week, I thought my peers might be interested.

For those who have a free lunch, the show airs live at 12:00PM, on
93.9FM and AM820. Night owls can catch the rerun at 3:00AM, on AM820.
You can listen live or, later, to the archived version at

HISTORY: Exhibition at NYHS

Filed under: Fun stuff, Outside events

The J-school is co-presenting a major new exhibit at the New-York Historical Society: ““Suspicious Truths: Politics and the Press in American History.” It features exhibits from 19th Century newspapers and a short video produced by Columbia alumni Amy Rubin and Stefan Knerrich. The exhibition continues through Dec. 17 at the New-York Historical Society, 2 West 77th Street, Manhattan; (212) 873-3400; nyhistory.org.

Here’s an excerpt from the NYT review at http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/20/arts/design/20yell.html

“Presenting the news objectively,” reads the introductory text, “was often only an occasional and tangential goal.” The show (and brief video commentary from Nicholas Lemann, the dean of Columbia’s journalism school) argues that complaints about newspapers have often been the same as they are now, and — just as often — both justified and unjustified.
