T.H. White Lecture on Press and Politics

The Theodore H. White Lectureship on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the reporter and historian who set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage.  White’s landmark book The Making of the President, 1960,  subsequent volumes on later campaigns, and America in Search of Itself, all remain vital historical documents on campaigns and the press. The Theodore H. White Lecture was inaugurated in 1989 with a panel that included R. W. Apple Jr., John King Fairbank and Ben Bradlee and is delivered annually by a noted politician or journalist.

The most recent lecturer was Congressman John Lewis. To learn more, go here; a video recording of the lecture is available here. A list of the lecturers can be found here. The event is made possible by the generosity of many donors; their names can be found here.
