Finding the Middle: Journalism, Dialogue, and the Future of Public Discourse

Join the Institute of Politics for a lunchtime conversation with award-winning journalist Jeremy Hobson, creator and host of The Middle, the only national public radio show dedicated to elevating voices from America’s geographic, political, and philosophical center. Over a decades-long career spanning NPR’s Here & Now and the Marketplace Morning Report, Hobson has interviewed global leaders, covered historic moments, and brought listeners into the heart of complex national debates. In this timely discussion, he will reflect on the state of journalism, the power of live civic dialogue, and what it takes to inform — and connect — a divided nation. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with one of public radio’s most dynamic and thoughtful voices.
