David Cay Johnston on "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Tuesday, July 23, 2024

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston is teaching a new class at RIT. This fall, his classes include Introduction to Journalism and Timely Topics: Law in Action.

Johnston arrives at a time when newsrooms are shrinking, and fewer Americans are willing to pay for journalistic products.

We discuss the need for quality journalism at this moment, and how to create journalists of the future.
