Kirst explains his decision to return to Syracuse and how the work being done at Central Current was the catalyst for that return, the evolution of journalism and the decline of local news, the foundational nature of quality journalism and a free press to a functioning democratic system, and the importance of history and the role of journalists as historians. A master storyteller, a tremendous guest.
