If you have concerns about the survival of America’s newspapers, if you believe newspapers play an important role in a democracy, you will be interested in what Dan Kennedy has to say. Mr. Kennedy teaches journalism at Northeastern University. As a reporter, media columnist, media analyst and panelist on WGBH’s Beat the Press, he has been covering the media for decades. Tonight he will share his understanding of ​why, and how today’s new crop of media moguls might help the newspaper industry to survive.

The author will be selling copies of his book, The Return of the Moguls: How Jeff Bezos and John Henry Are Remaking Newspapers for the Twenty-First Century, after the talk.  Cash, credit card or personal check are accepted.
