Martin Baron, Dan Kennedy, and Paul Starr

Suffolk University Moot Court Room

For the nation's oldest continually operating free public lecture series, the Ford Hall Forum manages to stay admirably relevant, and today's discussion, "Public Accountability After the Age of Newspaper," is about as relevant as it gets. As we sift through the moist-eyed demagogues and outright lies around current politics and policy, Boston Globe editor Martin Baron joins Northeastern professor and former Phoenix staffer Dan Kennedy and Princeton professor Paul Starr to discuss the increasingly desperate need for public accountability, and whether Twitter and YouTube will ever fill that role. That's in the Moot Court Room at Suffolk University, 120 Tremont St, Boston | 6:30 pm | free | www.fordhallforum.com.
