Visiting Journalist Gene Roberts Delivered Caulfield Lecture

Pultizer Prize-winning author, journalist and professor Gene Roberts delivered "Judging Race: The Press & Civil Rights," the 2008 Muriel and Clarence J.

The address was followed by a question-and-answer period, book signing and reception. Read the press release for more about Gene Roberts.

This year's Caulfield Lecture was part of "Judge, Judge Not," Loyola's 2008 Humanities Symposium. The Symposium, inspired by Shakespeare's play Measure for Measure, focuses on themes of moral and ethical reasoning, which are quite relevant to Roberts' examination of press coverage of the civil rights movement.

Hosted by the Communication Department, the Caulfield Lecture brings journalists and commentators of national stature to Loyola every year.
