Paul Krugman, the New York Times OpEd columnist and Professor of Economics and International Affairs at The Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, joins host Richard D. Heffner for this second of a two-part series discussing media power and bias in the press, both print and electronic.
Richard D. Heffner Host, The Open Mind
Paul Krugman Op-Ed columnist, New York Times
The Open Mind, produced and hosted weekly by Alexander Heffner, elicits guests’ insights into the challenges society faces in contemporary areas of public concern. The program's mission is to engage viewers, especially a generation of young Americans, through a thoughtful excursion into the world of ideas. In a September 2014 New York Times story, host Alexander Heffner described his goal to "interrogate ideas" rather than guests in order to further a "vision of communications and media serving the public interest." True to its roots of nonadversarial conversation, the program explores ideas of the most compelling writers, technologists, artists, practitioners of politics, policy, law and other realms of public life.
