"Saving the News," a symposium on the evolution of news hosted by the Yale University Department of Political Science. Journalists Ward Chamberlin, David Greenway, Robert Kaiser, and John Yemma will discuss the evolution in news delivery from print to broadcast to the Internet, and the consequences of that transition. Luce Hall Auditorium, 34 Hillhouse Avenue

Ward Chamberlin was one of the founders of public broadcasting in the United States, serving as the operating officer of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting at its inception in 1967. Mr. Chamberlin also assisted in the creation of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR).

David Greenway served as the editor of the editorial and op-ed pages of the Boston Globe for six years. He began his career working in Time-Life News bureaus around the world and later opened the Washington Post’s Jerusalem bureau. When Mr. Greenway moved to the Boston Globe in 1978, he first worked as the paper’s foreign and national editor. He now writes a column for the Globe.

Robert Kaiser is associate editor and senior correspondent of the Washington Post. In his time at the Post, he worked as a special correspondent in London, Saigon, and Moscow. Mr. Kaiser served as the paper’s managing editor from 1991 to 1998 before assuming his current role.

John Yemma is the editor of the Christian Science Monitor. Under his editorial direction, the Monitor became the first major US-based newspaper to drop its daily print publication and shift to a Web-first format. Mr. Yemma previously worked at the Boston Globe, most recently leading the multimedia news operation

The four guests will share their views and engage in an extended question-and-answer session concerning the past, present, and future of the news. Host Stanley Flink, a Yale lecturer, organizes a symposium each year as part of his Ethics and the Media undergraduate seminar.
