DescriptionSpeaker: Greg Mitchell

Time: 6:00p–7:30p

Greg Mitchell comes to MIT to talk about his latest book, "So Wrong for So Long," which chronicles the failings of the corporate media coverage of the war in Iraq. He is the editor of Editor & Publisher where he writes the column "Pressing Issues," and is the author of eight books.

"So Wrong for So Long," published February 2008, has received a tremendous response, ranging from appearances on Jim Lehrer NewsHour, NPR and Democracy Now! to reviews in the L.A. Times and Vanity Fair online.

"Greg Mitchell has given us a razor-sharp critique of how the media and the government connived in one of the great blunders of American foreign policy." Bill Moyers
