Diane Winston, fellow at the Center for Media, Culture and History at New York University, will deliver the 2000 Ralph L. Crosman lecture of CU-Boulder's School of Journalism and Mass Communication on Tuesday, April 4.
A former reporter and religion editor, Winston will discuss the boundary between religion and the press in her lecture, "Going Public: Religion and the News Media," which will begin at 5 p.m. in the Humanities Building auditorium, room 150.
The lecture will be followed by a reception in the lobby of the Humanities Building. The event is free and open to the public.
Winston, who most recently worked in journalism at the Baltimore Sun, earned her doctorate in history at Princeton University. She is the author of the critically acclaimed book, "Red Hot and Righteous," a history of the merging of media and religion as in the case of the Salvation Army.
The Crosman lecture series was created by private support in 1953 in honor of Ralph Crosman, former director of the journalism school.
