From fables to modern cinema, stories are more than entertainment. They are a powerful way to inform, influence and persuade. The Goldman School of Public Policy is hosting a unique panel of media producers and commentators on Monday, April 30. With Linda Schacht Gage moderating, panelists will explore what policy leaders and citizens can learn from the media - our culture's consummate storytellers with sophisticated understanding of audience - about promoting public policy options.
Panelists:
- Linda Schacht Gage, Emmy award winning broadcast journalist
- Norman Pattiz, Founder and chair of Westwood One, America's largest radio network company
- Sid Ganis, President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and founder of Out of the Blue Entertainment
