American Manifesto: WNYC’s Bob Garfield with Ken Auletta

Bob Garfield examines the troubling confluence of the American preoccupation with identity and the decline of mass media. Join us as he speaks with New Yorker media critic Ken Auletta about ways to counter the forces of fragmentation, drawing from the manifesto’s subtitle: Six steps to take to reassemble our fractured society.

Join the conversation at Grand Central Library.
