Journalists' role in political discourse

Several media experts address whether or not voters have enough information to be informed voters and how journalists meet or fail to meet their part of that obligation.

On November 2007, the John Breaux Symposium examined the rigorous relationship that should exist between the media and informed news consumers.

The panelists in this segment are the following:
David M. Shribman, the executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

David Espo, an Associated Press secial correspondent based in Washington, D.C.

Callie Crossley, an award-winning broadcast journalst and filmmaker turned television and radio commentator.

Tom Rosenstiel, who designed the Project for Excellence in Journalism and directs its activities.
