Join former presidential speech writers from both sides of the aisle for a discussion on the importance of word choice by the president, from major speeches to Tweets, and the impact this rhetoric has on news reporting, especially the changes in communications technology and Americans’ expectations over what and how they hear from the president. Moderated by Tamara Keith, White House Correspondent for NPR and co-host of NPR Politics podcast, the conversation will include:
* Ambassador Carolyn Curiel, former senior presidential speechwriter and special assistant for President Bill Clinton

** Stone Social Impact Forum featuring Nicholas Kristof ([link removed])
Monday, December 13, at 5:30 p.m. ET
** ([link removed])
Nicholas Kristof, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist and world-renowned journalist, will headline the virtual Fall 2021 Stone Social Impact Forum. Known for his reporting on human rights and giving a voice to the voiceless around the world, Mr. Kristof will share his experiences and discuss his most recent publication, “Tightrope: Americans Reaching for Hope” (2020).

Coauthored with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, “Tightrope” issues a plea to address the crisis in working-class America while also focusing on solutions to mend a half-century of governmental failure. They tell this story through the lives of people with whom Kristof grew up – about a quarter of the children on his old school bus died in adulthood from drugs, alcohol, suicide, or reckless accidents. While these particular stories unfolded in Oregon, they are representative of many places across the country.

This program will be held on Zoom webinar and registrants will receive links via email.
