Wyant Lecture Series
March 10, 2008
Media personality and journalist Christopher Lydon will offer his perspective on "Will We Be Better in the New Media World?" as part of the Wyant Lecture Series on March 27th at Emmanuel College.
Christopher Lydon has been a distinctive voice in many media: covering politics with The Boston Globe and The New York Times in the 1960s and 1970s; hosting The Ten O'Clock News on WGBH-TV in the 1980s; inaugurating the smart talk show "The Connection" with WBUR (Boston) and NPR in the 1990s; and in 2005 founding the hybrid radio and Internet conversation known as "Open Source," which he produces now from the Watson Institute at Brown University.
The Wyant Lecture Series features speakers in the Humanities, History and the Arts. The Louise Doherty Wyant professorship was established by the late Louise Doherty Wyant '63 and her husband, Dr. James Wyant, in honor of Sister Anne Cyril Delaney, SND.
