Virtual Book Signing

“This Saturday, June 14, at Noon Central Time, Virtual Book Signing presents the former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission under President John F. Kennedy, Newton Minow. As co-chair of the Commission on Presidential Debates, Mr. Minow has played a key role in organizing every presidential debate since 1960.”

Newton N. Minow. Inside the Presidential Debates: Their Improbable Past and Promising Future. Chicago: 2008. 1st edition, 240p., illustrations.

Written with Craig LaMay, this book provides an ‘inside look’ into the history of the presidential debates. The book also examines “the many ways in which the new media might serve to broaden the debates’ appeal and informative power.”

This is your chance to ask Newton Minow all about the debates — everything from “who won?” to “who should ask the questions?”
