CJF J-Talks: Journalism matters. #CJFjtalk
 It was the story of the summer in a summer of stories. Who can forget that profane-laden call from former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, a.k.a "The Mooch," to Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent for The New Yorker, demanding to know who was leaking information to the press?  But Lizza's front-row seat to the Trump presidency goes far beyond the call that made headlines. He’s covered the last four presidential campaigns, profiled a number of powerful political figures and brings deep understanding to the most unsettling year of a U.S. president. Lizza will be in conversation with award-winning journalist Piya Chattopadhyay, host of CBC Radio’s Out in the Open. Doors open 6:30pm  |  Discussion 7:00pm  |  Reception 8:30pm

He has also written for the New York Times, Washington Monthly, and The Atlantic Monthly. Since 1998, he has covered most of the country’s major political stories, including the last four Presidential campaigns, and has written many political profiles for The New Yorker.His awards include the 2012 National Press Club's Hood Award for Diplomatic Correspondence, for his article “The Consequentialist,” and the White House Correspondents' Association’s Aldo Beckman Memorial Award, for a series on Obama’s Presidency and reëlection campaign.
