Pritzker Fellow Steve Hayes on "Alternative News"

(Current UChicago Students Only)

Thursday, October 13

3:30-4:45 PM

Conservatives have long sought to work around the mainstream media, even before Rush Limbaugh and the rise of modern talk radio. We’ll look at those efforts - the challenges and the successes - as a harbinger of things to come.

Special Guest: Paul Matzko, Historian, Research Fellow at the Cato Institute & Author of "The Radio Right - How a Band of Broadcasters Took on the Federal Government and Built the Modern Conservative Movement"

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

This convening is open to current UChicago students who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.

If you have any questions about accessibility, please contact Ashley Jorn (ashleyjorn@uchicago.edu).
