3rd Annual Henry Steele Commager lecture "Desparately Seeking Skeptics: Sifting the Modern Flood of 'News' in Search of Truth" is presented by Tim Blagg, editor of The Recorder since 1986. Through 40 years in the newspaper business, Blagg has seen "an explosion of information being made available to the average person." At the same time, the means through which this information is disseminated are increasingly suspect. Blass's message for this lecture is "to have people get in what I call a skeptical frame of mind, and stay in that frame of mind while they watch the news."
