Dan Slepian: "My Life As...", with Eric Glisson and Peter Gross

You could say Dateline NBC investigative producer and '93 Stony Brook alum Dan Slepian covers the injustice beat. His job is to unearth stories where justice has not been served; where people are determined to right wrongs and find the answers no one else is giving them. Slepian likes to discover "Any other true crime story that desperately needs someone to listen...to bring a voice to the voiceless," and ultimately achieve what Dan says makes it all worthwhile: "Finding the truth." “My Life As” is the Stony Brook University School of Journalism major lecture series, in which top journalists describe how they discovered their passion and answer questions from students. Since 2007 more than 100 journalists have travelled to Stony Brook for the event.
