Eyewitness Jews (STAND-ALONE LECTURE) ($16 temple members/$20 non-members)

Thursday, June 2 (10:30 a.m.-noon)

Facilitator bios and lecture summary: Richard Sher spent nearly half a century in broadcasting and still hosts his “Square-Off” public affairs discussion every week in streaming version. A graduate of the University of Maryland, Sher started out as a radio top-40 disc jockey, went into radio news, and then spent several decades on WJZ-TV’s Eyewitness News as a reporter and anchor and co-anchor (with Oprah Winfrey) of the talk show People Are Talking. Michael Olesker spent 30 years as a Baltimore newspaper columnist and 20 years as a nightly commentator on WJZ-TV’s Eyewitness News. A graduate of the University of Maryland, where he majored in journalism and had a young graduate student named Richard Sher as his speech instructor, Michael has just finished writing his seventh book. Together, drawing from their vast array of journalistic experiences, these two Eyewitness Jews, Richard and Michael, will relate some light moments from their careers and discuss the current state of American newspapers and television news.
