I had the good fortune to speak to Ms. Thomas today on the radio. She was the guest of Steve Kraske on KCUR's Up To Date this morning. I thanked her for being a voice of reason and asking the questions that have to be asked of the current administration. She is a much needed voice of dissent and all the members of the White House Press Corps can learn from her. Let's hope they are listening.
She will present the Emily Taylor & Marilyn Stokstad Women's Leadership Lecture with a speech titled "Covering the White House from Kennedy to Bush" at 7:30 on Tuesday evening March 14th at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union at the University of Kansas.
Her new book, Watchdogs of Democracy? The Waning Washington Press Corps and How It Has Failed the Public is slated to be released June 20, 2006.
