The upcoming guest visitor for the class will be Lesley Stahl, 13-time Emmy Winner, “60 Minutes” correspondent and former White House correspondent for CBS News. The interview is set for Tuesday, October 6 at 1 p.m. CST.

“Dateline: Democracy” is a part of the Department of Mass Communication’s curriculum and will be hosted by Peter Roussel, Philip G. Warner Endowed Chair, Department of Mass Communication and Professor Mike Yawn, director of the Center for Law, Engagement, And Politics.

Previous interviews include David Hume Kennerly, the official White House photographer under President Gerald R. Ford and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. Upcoming virtual visits will include legendary ABC News anchor and former White House reporter Sam Donaldson and others.
