"Seven Myths of the Media"
Stapleton Lounge, Le Mans Hall

Richard Halloran Woodrow Wilson Fellow
What do we mean when we talk about "the media"? For journalist and commentator Richard Halloran, the idea that there's an institution we can rightly call "the media" is the number-one
misunderstanding the public holds about the press and television news. Halloran explores what's behind this and other myths--including the question of why journalists don't do a better job of correcting them--in a lively talk based on years of reporting, writing, and observing in the U.S. and Asia.

Richard Halloran's career includes serving as military correspondent and bureau chief for the New York Times and economic correspondent and bureau chief for the Washington Post. A much-awarded author and freelance journalist with broad expertise in Asia, he is an adjunct fellow at the Asia Pacific Center for Security Studies and the Pacific Forum of the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, both in Honolulu.
