Experience an exclusive evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Jodi Kantor.

No matter the story, Kantor’s mission is the same: to build people’s confidence in telling the truth, scrutinize the powerful, reflect the complexity and nuance of real life, protect sources, make fair, independent assessments, and pursue stories that others assume can’t be told. The discussion will delve into misinformation, resilience and truth, offering a deeper understanding of the work behind the headlines. Come learn from the author of She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement.
