Known not just for print, our guest also won an Emmy for the 2011 documentary The Interrupters.

 

Our fireside chat will be moderated by Pulitzer Prize winning Chicago Tribune columnist Mary Schmich. Alex and Mary will have a 45-minute wide ranging discussion followed by about fifteen minutes to answer your questions.
