Jill Lepore is a Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at The New Yorker. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, her many books include the international bestseller "These Truths" and "If Then," which was longlisted for the National Book Award.
Last night she was in Manchester Center, Vermont for a VTDigger event entitled: Democracy, News & History: Unprecedented Times. She spoke about the importance of local journalism, its impact on our communities, and the role it plays in preserving democracy. Joe Donahue spoke with her at the Manchester Community Library about journalism, democracy and her latest book – just out in paperback - “The Deadline.”
