Pop, Politics, and the Media

Please join Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism lecturer, Ben Manilla in conversation with John Harris of The Guardian (UK).  They will discuss the state of Music Journalism, along with the similarities and dissimilarities of writing about politics and pop culture.

John Harris is a British journalist and author, who writes regularly for The Guardian about a range of subjects built around politics, popular culture and music.

His published work includes The Last Party, an acclaimed cultural history of the 1990s; and So Now Who Do We Vote For?, the primer for disaffected Labour voters that appeared just before the General Election of 2005. He is also a regular panelist on BBC2’s Newsnight Review.
