(Feb 21, 2008 at Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs)
Hank Klibanoff is the Managing editor/news at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is the former Deputy Managing Editor for The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he worked for 20 years. He was also a reporter for three years at the Boston Globe and for six years in Mississippi at The Daily Herald, South Mississippi Sun (now the Sun-Herald) and the Greenville Delta Democrat Times.
Gene Roberts came to the College in 1991, following 18 years as the executive editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer, which won 17 Pulitzer Prizes during his editorship. He took a hiatus from his university work from 1994 to 1997 to serve as managing editor of The New York Times. In 1998, he returned to the College, where he teaches courses on writing the complex story, the press and the civil rights movement, and newsroom management. He received the National Press Club's Fourth Estate Award for Distinguished Contributions to Journalism in 1993.
Klibanoff and Roberts co-authored the book “The Race Beat: The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation.” In the book the authors reveal how the nation’s press, after decades of ignoring the problems of racial segregation, the indignities and injustice, came to recognize the importance of the civil rights struggle and turn it into the most significant domestic news event of the twentieth century.
