"Why so glum? Looking on the bright side of the 2024 election"

John Harris worked for over 20 years at the Washington Post covering politics and the White House before leaving in 2006 to co-found Politico, an political journalism media company, and become its editor-in-chief, a post he held until 2019. Politico delivers its message mainly via its website, Politico.com, but also through its popular daily email 'Playbook' and a print version paper in the Washington DC area. As John puts it, he stumbled into journalism during his freshman year at Carleton College by writing a few articles for the student newspaper, The Carletonian. He was hooked. Currently John still writes a regular article for the Politico Magazine called "Altitude" which provides a perspective on politics in a moment of radical disruption. You can find the series of articles online here: www.politico.com/tag/altitude John will talk to the club on a timely political topic (very likely election related!) and answer questions.  Hosted by Bent Nystrom
