Event Info: 

  Learn more about San Francisco's rich journalism history with an engaging discussion about the nation's first investigative news organization, Mother Jones, which started in 1976 in an office above a McDonald's restaurant in San Francisco. As a special bonus, the panelists analyze the November 3 election results and the news media's coverage of the big races and issues, particularly in California.

Sitting on the panel are Mother Jones' editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery and Mother Jones' co-founder and historian Adam Hochschild. Journalist Jamil Smith moderates.

A catered reception precedes the panel discussion from 5-6:30 in the Koret Lobby. While you're here, you can also visit the 50 Years of Mother Jones exhibit on the 5th floor in the Magazines and Newspapers Center!
