Jacqui Banaszynski

Rock, Paper, Scissors ... Stars
The Enduring Triumph of the Human Story

Tuesday, June 4
Turnbull Center, Floor 3R
Light Refreshments: 6:30 p.m.
Free Presentation: 7-8:30 p.m.

Newspapers are as good as dead. The Internet is filling our brains with infotrivia. And independent, in-depth journalism is a relic.

But wait! As long as humans have stood upright, they’ve told stories – true stories that have archived their history, recorded their passions, passed along their lessons and helped them survive.

Jacqui Banaszynski, a Pulitzer-winning journalist, former senior editor of The Oregonian, and a teacher at one of the country’s best journalism schools, muses on what is changing about the profession of storytelling – and what never will.
