Description

Few journalists have tracked America’s political transformation as closely, or as clearly, as Mara Liasson.

As NPR’s national political correspondent since the early 1990s, she has reported from the frontlines of Washington through presidencies, scandals, shutdowns, and social revolutions. She’s witnessed the transformation of U.S. politics from policy debate and deal-making to hyperpartisan information warfare. Through it all, she has remained one of the most trusted and unflinching voices in American political journalism.

Liasson joins KQED Forum host Mina Kim in conversation, with a special guest appearance by Congressman Mike Thompson.

 


This special fireside chat is presented with the Napa Valley News Group, a nonprofit organization that brings important news, stories and features created by writers and editors in Napa Valley.
