Andy Serwer presents the second annual John J. Curran '75 Lecture in Journalism, Monday, October 24, at 4:45 p.m. in Weis Cinema, Bertelsmann Campus Center, introduced by Bard writer in residence Benjamin Hale.“Achaea had Homer, the Spanish Civil War had Hemingway, California had the Beach Boys, and now our hyperactive stock market has its own poet singer: Andy Serwer.” —The New Yorker
As editor in chief for the top financial news site, Yahoo Finance, ANDY SERWER oversees all editorial content, from in-depth stories to breaking news to original video programming.
Serwer launched the groundbreaking and enormously influential business-news blog Streetlife in 1997. Now one of the world’s leading business journalists, he worked twenty-nine years at Time, served for eight years as Fortune’s managing editor, and was CNN’s American Morning business anchor from 2001 to 2006.
In 2000, TJFR Business News Reporter named Serwer as its Business Journalist of the Year, lauding him as “perhaps the nation’s top multimedia talent, successfully juggling the roles of serious journalist, astute commentator and occasional court jester.”
Andy Serwer will deliver this lecture again at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 25th, at the Bard Graduate Center in NYC. That event is free and open to the public, but online registration is required. Visit the Bard Alumni/ae Network's website to learn more and register.
John J. Curran '75 Lectures in Journalism honors the memory of a proud Bardian whose dedication to ethical reporting in journalism informed a trusting readership for over a quarter of a century and promoted a culture of honesty, integrity, and truth.
