SUMMARY:Who owns the news?
DESCRIPTION:The Brandeis Journalism Program presents Who Owns the News?\, an event featuring four former Washington Post leaders as they discuss one of the most urgent questions in journalism today: what happens when billionaire owners reshape the newsroom? \nThese veteran editors and journalists experienced firsthand the sweeping changes at one of America’s most storied newspapers\, from mass layoffs to shifts in editorial direction. Together\, they’ll explore what billionaire ownership means for journalism’s independence\, credibility\, and future. \nKevin Merida\, former top editor of The Los Angeles Times\, former managing editor of The Washington Post\, and founding editor of ESPN’s The Undefeated\, joins Marty Baron\, former top editor of The Washington Post\, The Boston Globe\, and the Miami Herald; Janice Page\, former arts editor at The Washington Post\, The LA Times\, and The Boston Globe; and Kainaz Amaria\, former senior editor for visuals\, investigations at The Washington Post\, NPR\, and Vox. This discussion examines the growing influence of billionaire owners on American newsrooms and what it means for the future of the free press. \nDean of the School of Social Sciences and Social Policy Sara Shostak provides opening remarks.

SUMMARY:Rap and Redemption on Death Row: A conversation with Alim Braxton and Mark Katz
DESCRIPTION:What leads someone to take another’s life? What do we owe those whom we incarcerate? What is\, or what should be\, the purpose of the United States carceral system? How can the impulses that lead to violence be transformed\, and what role can art play in that transformation? Are there limits to redemption? \n“Rap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars” seeks to explore the answers to these difficult questions through the testimony of Alim Braxton (a.k.a. Rrome Alone)—a writer\, rapper\, and activist living on North Carolina’s Death Row. Join COMPACT and BEJI as we welcome Alim and author Mark Katz\, the John P. Barker Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, to Brandeis University for a community book release and discussion. \nThis event is hosted by The Vic ’63 and Bobbi Samuels ’63 Center for Community Partnerships and Civic Transformation (COMPACT) and the Brandeis Educational Justice Initiative (BEJI) and co-sponsored by the Brandeis University Library\, Brandeis University Center for Spiritual Life\, Basement Records\, C.A.R.E\, and the Muslim Student Association. It will take place during DEIS Impact 2025 and Civic Learning Week. \nThanks to generous funding from our sponsors\, “Rap and Redemption on Death Row” is  available digitally for free through the Brandeis Library for faculty\, staff\, and students and two copies are now available through the Waltham Public Library.
