Southern Adventist University’s School of Journalism and Communication invites the community to a conversation between Michel Martin of NPR’s Morning Edition and Atlanta Audio Producer David Barasoain to explore “Making Sense of a Polarized World.” As the second special event in the R. Lynn Sauls Lecture Series, this discussion will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. in Iles P.E. Center on the university campus.
Ms. Martin is a current contributor for PBS’s Amanpour & Company, and her previous work with NPR involved hosting All Things Considered and Tell Me More.
Additional credits include ABC News, Nightline, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. She won an Emmy Award for her coverage of the international campaign to ban the use of landmines and was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for outstanding achievement in journalism. She has received the Candace Award for Communications, the Joan Barone Award for Excellence in Washington-based National Affairs/Public Policy Broadcasting and a Silver Gavel Award.
With a love for crafting well-told stories, Southern alum and Adjunct Instructor Barasoain is the creator and managing editor of the long-running Atlanta Sounds series that highlights the power of the human voice showcased in everyday life. His work has been featured on PRX and NPR, and he also serves as senior producer of Buried Truths, the Civil Rights cold-cases podcast, for which he won a Peabody Award, a Robert F.
