Rick Kaplan, former president for CNN U.S. and MSNBC and winner of 47 Emmys and dozens of other journalism awards, spoke Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Wayne State University.
Kaplan, whose experience in TV news spans 40 years of in-depth reporting and producing, presented "The Role of the Media in the 2014 Elections." The event was presented by the Wayne Law Dean's Office and WSU College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts Dean's Office and co-sponsored by the Wayne Law Sports and Entertainment Law Society.
Kaplan and Jack Lessenberry, longtime journalist, area head of the journalism faculty at Wayne State and senior political analyst for Michigan Radio, also discussed Kaplan's historic career and the future of broadcast journalism.
Kaplan has led national news coverage for decades of elections and historical events. He has produced several hours of special political and election coverage, including the 2008 "game-changing" interview between Katie Couric and then-Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. He is founder of Kaplan Media Partners and his career includes serving as executive producer of ABC News' "This Week with Christiane Amanpour," "The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric" and "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" and as creative consultant for HBO's "The Newsroom."
