Panel to discuss 'The Media
and Corporate Corruption'

William H. Donaldson, former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and founding dean of Yale's School of Management, will lead a panel discussion on how the news media cover corporate scandals such as Enron and WorldCom.

The free and public forum, titled "The Media and Corporate Corruption," will take place at 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 15, in Luce Hall, 34 Hillhouse Ave. It is sponsored by the Department of Political Science.

Donaldson will present an overview of securities laws and the regulatory role of the SEC.

The panelists will be Floyd Norris, chief financial correspondent of The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune; Amy Borrus, BusinessWeek correspondent and winner of the 1992 Overseas Press Club Award; and Humphrey Taylor, chair of The Harris Poll and manager of the world's first tracking polls.

This panel is the fourth in a series of discussions organized by Stanley Flink, a lecturer in political science, for his seminar "Ethics and the Media." Previous panel discussions in the series have focused on media coverage of national security, military operations in Iraq and the presidential election of 2004. Participants in past forums have included former Vermont governor Howard Dean, journalists Seymour Hersh and Evan Thomas, former deputy secretary of state Strobe Talbott, and Connecticut Congressman Christopher Shays.
