SUMMARY:J Talks presents: "The Inconvenient Journalist" (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:With Author Louise Branson \n\n\n\nJoin us for a fascinating author talk with Louise Branson\, former war and foreign correspondent for the London Sunday Times\, former USA Today editorial writer\, and co-author or three books. \n\n\n\n“The Inconvenient Journalist” is a gripping memoir about famed 1980s Washington Post Moscow correspondent Dusko Doder. Branson\, his wife and journalistic partner\, completed it after illness prevented him from doing so. He died in 2024. \n\n\n\nThis timely and compelling discussion will appeal to anyone interested in journalism\, the Cold War\, the Soviet Union\, present-day Russia\, and the importance of freedom of the press. \n\n\n\nThe book centers on a pivotal moment in Doder’s career when his reporting on Soviet leader Yuri Andropov’s death led to a stunning confrontation with the CIA and a false accusation – disproven in court – that threatened his reputation and career. \n\n\n\nThrough this deeply personal story\, “The Inconvenient Journalist” provides a timely lesson on the risks and personal costs of reporting the truth and why a free press is more vital than ever. \n\n\n\nBranson will be joined in conversation by Robert Lieber\, Emeritus Professor of Government and International Affairs at Georgetown University. Professor Lieber is the author or editor of eighteen books on international relations and U.S. foreign policy\, including his most recent book\, Indispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in a Turbulent World. \n\n\n\nFollowing the interview\, copies of Branson’s book will be available for sale and signing. \n\n\n\nFee: Complimentary\, however registration is required. Donations to the Pozez JCC Adult Services Program are greatly appreciated; click here: https://give.thej.org/campaign/735109/donate \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Shari.Berman@theJ.org or 703.537.3068.In partnership with the J-Men’s Group.
