Book Information
It is fitting that an individual who believed so strongly in the free exchange of ideas should be commemorated by a lecture series. Chet Huntley understood that journalism has more to do with asking questions than getting answers and more to do with starting conversations than finishing them. The lectures in this series are valuable for the questions they ask and for the conversations they may inspire. They demonstrate that journalism is as varied as those who practice it. They also embody the great idea that, in addressing our common problems, everyone should be allowed to have their say. Chet Huntley's greatness as a journalist came in large part from the fact that he was truly a man of the people, and throughout his career he strove to protect everyone's right to free expression.
