Does the Watchdog Still Bite?
Charles Lewis is a former producer for 60 Minutes, through the foundings of the Center for Public Integrity and the Fund for Independence in Journalism, he’s been ahead of the curve in creating new media models. He continues that work today as a professor and the founding executive editor of the new Investigative Reporting Workshop at the American University School of Communication.
Most discussions of the changing media landscape, with its budget cutting and downsizing, include concerns over the fate of investigative reporting, the kind of reporting that uncovers wrongdoing and holds those in power accountable, reporting that ultimately defines the classic role of the press as the people’s watchdog. This week on dialogue, host John Milewski speaks with Charles Lewis, one of the world’s leaders in that field, having spent most of the last 30 years as an investigative journalist. Scheduled for broadcast on MHz Worldview Channel March 3rd, 2010.

From Print to Digital
Jamie Stiehm is a public policy scholar at the Wilson Center where she’s working on a biography of Quaker leader, Lucretia Mott. She also writes for “U.S. News and World Report” and “Politics Daily.” Previously, she was a reporter for “The Baltimore Sun” and “The Hill.”
Marvin Kalb is Edward R. Morrow Professor of Practice Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy. His career encompasses 30 years of award-winning reporting for CBS and NBC News as chief diplomatic correspondent, Moscow bureau chief, and host of “Meet the Press.” He now hosts “The Kalb Report,” a discussion of media ethics and responsibility at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and he’s a regular contributor to Fox News Television and National Public Radio.
Downsizing continues to be the operative word in the world of mainstream news media. Recently, ABC News and BBC announced significant budget cuts. Even in the age of television, newspapers largely defined what was newsworthy and provided the foundation for American journalism, but reliance on the printed word is giving way to the digital age with unclear implications for what will be gained and what will be lost. This week on dialogue, host John Milewski is joined by Jamie Stiehm and Marvin Kalb to discuss the changing world of journalism. Scheduled for broadcast starting March 17th, 2010 on MHz Worldview Channel.

Dying for Heaven
Ariel Glucklich is a professor of theology at Georgetown University and a member of the steering committee of the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs. The Berkley Center advises the defense community in Washington on the intersection of religion and global challenges.
Reports of terrorist attacks dominate headlines around the world and it seems as if threats and incentives have been equally ineffective in trying to stop the killing. This week on dialogue, host John Milewski speaks with Ariel Glucklich, author of Dying for Heaven: Holy Pleasures and Suicide Bombers - Why the Best Qualities of Religion Are Also Its Most Dangerous, a new book on religious martyrdom which argues that our misunderstandings of the motivations behind these violent acts is what paralyzes our efforts to deter them.
