Karen welcome. Thank you all for being here. Before we get started, i just want to tell you that i am so happy to be having this event because we never get to talk about history and historians. We always talk about politics and the law and Foreign Policy. And it is all very interesting. But those of you who know me know that i like the history. And i think it wouldve been a very good thing if more historians were weighing in more frequently and people who write about politics in a historical vein and people who think about whats come before.

So before we get started with our discussion, let me introduce the men to my left. Jim banner who edited the book president ial misco
This is our meager attempt to try to do that. Before we get started, let me just say that this is being recorded by cspan. You know the routine, which means that when you get the mic, speak into the mic, wait for the mic before you speak. And be aware of the fact that its being recorded.

He is one of the creators of the National History center. Jackson leers is the board of governors prof

Hi, evybody. Thanks for being here. Its great to moderate a panel with three of the Outstanding Young jonalists covering politics. And when i say young, i dont mean to slight their experience, but theyre all young to me. I also cant fail to observe the big picture here and place sort of in context. The problems were about to talk about. The last te jackie and i were together, we were traveling in israel in the west bank with an organizaon called peace players, which tried to bring israelis and palestine together through basketball and seein the ghastly events that are unfolding inhat part of the world right now, it makes me be thankful that our problems are onhe scale that they are. Nevertheless, we do have problems, and one of them is how journalism treats this moment of peril for democracy. And so. Well, let me kick it off this way.
