October 1 | 2020 Media Leaders Forum – The Press and the President: An In-Depth Look at the Difficult Relationship Between President Trump and the Media | 1:30 p.m. CST

When President Donald Trump rode down the escalator in Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 to announce his candidacy for the 2016 Presidential election, the media was thrust into what could be considered one of the most contentious relationships between a United States President and the media. In a collection of essays that will be released in Spring 2021, William B. Dickinson Distinguished Professor in Journalism and former LSU Manship School Dean Jerry Ceppos brought together 24 journalists to share their experiences covering this administration and what has contributed to such a difficult relationship between the press and the president. Join the LSU Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs for a virtual roundtable conversation featuring several essayists and moderated by Jerry Ceppos.

Mary C. Curtis, Columnist, Roll Call
Ginger Gibson Burk, Editor, NBC News 
Fin Gomez, White House Producer, CBS News
Sarah Isgur, Staff Writer, The Dispatch
Mark Leibovich, Chief National Correspondent, The New York Times Magazine
