Cronkite LIVE - A Conversation with Wesley Lowery: Truth and Trust in the Media

This event is a partnership between the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and Recovering Truth: Religion, Journalism and Democracy in a Post-Truth Era, a project of the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict at Arizona State University.

We invite you to join us at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication's First Amendment Forum for a conversation with Wesley Lowery, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author and on-air correspondent. He currently works as a contributing editor at The Marshall Project and a Journalist in Residence at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. In nearly a decade as a national correspondent, Lowery has specialized in issues of race, justice and law enforcement.

Lowery led the Washington Post team that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2016 for the creation and analysis of a real-time database to track fatal police shootings in the United States. Another project, “Murder with Impunity,” an unprecedented look at unsolved homicides in major American cities, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2019. His first book, “They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement,” was a New York Times bestseller and awarded the Los Angeles Times-Christopher Isherwood Prize for Autobiographical Prose. His next book, American Whitelash: A Changing Nation and the Cost of Progress, comes out in June 2023.
