Available for Media Opportunity, April 13, 2010
Editor of Newsweek and best-selling author, Jon Meacham was named “one of the most influential editors in the news magazine business” by The New York Times. Mr. Meacham was recently named co-anchor of a new, weekly, primetime news and public affairs series—Need to Know—scheduled to debut nationally on PBS in early May.
His best-seller Franklin and Winston: An intimate Portrait of an Epic Friendship, explores the fascinating relationship between the two leaders who led the free world to victory in World War II. His most recent New York Times bestseller, American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, won the Pulitzer Prize for biography.
Please join us as Mr. Meacham presents, “God and Politics: From George Washington to Barack Obama.”

If your organization would like to participate, please contact me (ph. 228-1836) by Friday, April 9th, 2010. I will then follow-up with you to arrange clearance to the media room for you and provide directions.
Thank you,

Each year in Norfolk's Chrysler Hall, the Forum presents four, thought-provoking public figures that in different ways help shape American thought and opinion. After each presentation, speakers engage the audience in a question and answer session. The speakers for the 2010-2011 series will be announced following the conclusion of Mr. Meacham’s presentation, and tickets for the new season will be available for sale at that time.
Tickets for the 2010-2011 season will be available for $100 by calling (757) 627-8672. Ms. Lou Weaver, the Norfolk Forum ticket representative, will call you to handle payment and arrange for ticket delivery.
