Post’s Graham to Talk About Gender Issues

Katharine Graham, former publisher of the Washington Post and author of the just-published memoir “Personal History” (Alfred A. Knopf), will speak at the USC Annenberg School for Communication, Room G21, at noon today.

Graham, whose father, Eugene Meyer bought the Post in 1933, became publisher after the suicide of her husband, Philip Graham, in 1963, guiding the newspaper through its Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Watergate scandal.

Graham’s lecture--”Women in the Newsroom: Does Gender Matter?”--is free and open to the public.

To reach the Annenberg School from Jefferson Boulevard, enter the campus through Gate 5 at McClintock Avenue, between Vermont Avenue and Hoover Street.
