Bill Press will visit USC on Tuesday to address both the public and students by invitation from Professor Donald Fowler of the department of political science.
Press offers “thought-provoking and humorous insights from the left side of the political aisle,” according to his website, insights he will share with USC when he addresses the topics of politics and the 2016 presidential race through two appearances — one for students and one for the public.
His first appearance will be for Fowler’s “Politics and Mass Media” class at 11:40 a.m. in Gambrell Hall room 152. The lecture to Fowler’s class will be broadcast on WUSC, the student-run radio station, Friday at 2 p.m.
He will speak again at 5 p.m. in Gambrell Hall room 250, this time addressing the general public.
Press is known for his radio show the "Bill Press Show" and is a well-known newspaper columnist and six-time author. He was the chairman of the California Democratic Party from 1993 to 1996 and the former co-host of MSNBC’s "Buchanan and Press," CNN’s "Crossfire" and "The Spin Room." He has received four Emmys and a Golden Mike Award for his work.
