Jane Mayer and Paul Holdengräber: Investigative Journalism | 5-21-2018 | LIVE from the NYPL

LIVE from the NYPL | Recorded live at the New York Public Library, Celeste Bartos Forum, May 21, 2018. Two-time Helen Bernstein Book Award winner Jane Mayer joins Paul Holdengräber for a conversation spanning her decades-long career. An author of narrative nonfiction and a staff writer for The New Yorker, Mayer's in-depth investigative reporting has uncovered hard truths about American life that challenge our understanding of culture, politics, and foreign policy. Her books and magazine pieces have tackled sexual harassment, the war on terror, the deployment of drones, the prosecution of whistle blowers, and, in her most recent book, Dark Money, the uses and abuses of money in electoral politics. This event will follow the 2018 The Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism, honoring journalists and their important role in drawing public attention to current issues, events, or policies. The Award was established through a gift from Joseph Frank Bernstein, in honor of journalist Helen Bernstein Fealy.
