Celebration of Prof. Chris Sterling and NPR's 40th Anniversary

April 11, 2011: The George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA) and the GW Global Media Institute celebrated the career of retiring Professor of Media and Public Affairs Christopher H. Sterling (a member of the faculty since 1982), and the 40th anniversary of NPR with a public event at the Jack Morton Auditorium.

NPR's Audie Cornish, Cokie Roberts and Susan Stamberg joined Professor Sterling, SMPA Director Frank Sesno, and NPR's Acting Senior Vice President of News, Margaret Low Smith, for a lively look at the history and future of public radio and its impact on our society.

Sterling, a leading expert on the history of broadcasting and journalism, has authored, co-authored and/or edited more than 25 books, including the definitive six volume Encyclopedia of Journalism (2009).
