Item Description
What is a career in journalism? Which medium is best? How do we convey ideas? What is wrong to do? What is to be admired as artistic license, and what is sheer skullduggery?
Amity and Seth Lipsky can tell. Both authors, the Lipskys have more than half a century of journalism between them, having published in all formats and appeared on radio and tv. Both Lipskys have worked at the WSJ and published in the New York Times. Seth, who currently writes in the New York Post and Ha'Aretz, founded several newspapers, including the New York Sun and the Jewish Forward; he teaches opinion writing at Columbia and Bard this year. He is the author of "Abraham Cahan," a new book on the great newspaper editor and also on assimilation. Amity is the author of three national bestsellers, including "The Forgotten Man," and "Coolidge," which the historian Paul Johnson called "the most important book in American history to appear in many years." She teaches at NYU/Stern and is the author of the forthcoming graphic novel, "The Forgotten Man/Graphic." The Lipskys know all about the politics of work, as well. Seth is the winner of the amateur painter prize at the Century Association. Join us to pick their brain not for job tips but for clarity on what happens in journalism, the arts, where ethics fit in, and what they teach their pupils. This is not a job fair but a peek into a trade that draws so many of us.
