Bill Schneider, CNN senior political analyst and one of the country’s leading political commentators, will deliver the Nelson Benton Lecture at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication on March 27 at 6 p.m. in the Carroll Hall auditorium. Schneider’s talk, “The Role of Media in Politics,” is free and open to the public. He joins notable journalists who have spoken in the series including Walter Cronkite, Charles Kuralt, Sam Donaldson, Bob Schieffer, Cokie Roberts and Dan Rather. The lecture coincides with a major conference being held at the school in honor of Knight Chair in Journalism Phil Meyer, who retires this year. Meyer has been at the forefront of applying social-science research methods to the practice of journalism. The conference brings media scholars together to consider how research and theory can serve journalism in the information age. Schneider and Meyer first met in 1968 when Meyer was analyzing a survey for the Miami Herald on race relations in Miami.
