DNC Eve Panel for Journalists

Before the Democratic National Convention gets into full swing, the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Charlotte Observer partnered to sponsor a roundtable discussion for journalists covering the convention.

The event, "Red States and Purple States," contextualized current trends and issues in Southern politics. UNC J-School Dean Susan King described it as a "mini news hour" for some journo "wonks."

Special guests included Judy Woodruff, senior correspondent of PBS NewsHour, and Scott Keeter, director of survey research at the Pew Research Center. Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and Democratic Congressman David Price also attended.

Panelists:
Hodding Carter, university professor of leadership and public policy
Peter Coclanis, Albert Ray Newsome Distinguished Professor of History; director, Global Research Institute
Kareem Crayton, associate professor of law
Jacquelyn Hall, Julia Cherry Spruill Professor of History; founder, Southern Oral History Program
Gene Nichol, Boyd Tinsley Distinguished Professor of Law; director, Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity
Jesse White, adjunct professor of government; former executive director, Southern Growth Policies Board
