A Life in Broadcast Journalism: A Conversation with Bill Cohen, Ohio Public Broadcasting Statehouse News Bureau Reporter
Join Bill Cohen in conversation with OSU Humanities Institute Associate Fred Andrle. We'll hear the inside story of how public radio and television report on Ohio government from a veteran journalist who has covered statehouse issues for nearly forty years.
Bill Cohen has reported on hundreds of different public policy issues... from tax hikes, budget crunches, and soaring college tuition to capital punishment, abortion, and gay marriage. Among the most high-profile developments he's covered: the 1993 Lucasville prison riot, the long-running legal battle over school funding, dozens of elections for governor and president, and the rise and fall of political legends such as Governor James Rhodes and House Speaker Vern Riffe.
"Conversations in the Humanities with Fred Andrle" is a recurring program that features discussions of issues of public importance with leading experts. All events are moderated by OSU Humanities Institute Associate Fred Andrle.
