Theodore H. White Lecture on Press and Politics

Peter Beinart Maureen Dowd EJ Dionne
The Theodore H. White Lectureship on Press and Politics commemorates the life of the reporter and historian who set the standard for contemporary political journalism and campaign coverage.  White’s landmark book The Making of the President, 1960,  subsequent volumes on later campaigns, and America in Search of Itself, all remain vital historical documents on campaigns and the press. The Theodore H. White Lecture was inaugurated in 1989 with a panel that included R. W. Apple Jr., John King Fairbank and Ben Bradlee and is delivered annually by a noted politician or journalist.
