AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring how competing narratives from politicians and the press can shape the public's understanding of the politics and policy.

This conversation will be inspired in part by "The Movement and The 'Madman'" and CITIZEN HEARST, both of which are now streaming on the PBS app.

Featured guests:

  • Yu Ouyang: Associate Professor of Political Science, Purdue University Northwest
  • Jeremi Suri: Mack Brown Distinguished Chair for Leadership in Global Affairs, the University of Texas at Austin
  • The discussion will be moderated by Kelly McBride, Senior Vice President of The Poynter Institute for Media Studies.

The conversation will also be streamed live on AMERICAN EXPERIENCE's Facebook and YouTube channels.

Dates and times of events are subject to change without notice. Always check the event organizer's website for the most updated schedule before attending.
