The JCC will host “Triumph Over Media Bias,” a talk by former AP journalist Mark Lavie, on Sunday, April 10 at 1 pm. The cost is $5 per person, $2 with a student ID. Lavie will discuss his perspective on how media bias shapes the state of journalism and how we understand current events. His talk will be based on his experiences in reporting on the Middle East, such as uncovering the Palestinian rejection of Israel’s offer of a state in 2008 which the AP did not publish.
As a foreign correspondent, Lavie spent 40 years working for media outlets including AP, NBC and NPR, where he covered many topics including ISIS, Israel’s peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, Iran, Egypt, and Arab Spring. He is the winner of the prestigious New York Overseas Press Club award and the author of “Broken Spring.”
