New York, NY (PRWEB) January 31, 2006 -- This Friday, February 3, 2006, the New York Open Center will present an evening lecture by Kristina Borjesson, author of Feet to the Fire: The Media After 9/11 – Top Journalists Speak Out. Borjesson’s new publication delves further into the question of honest and open reporting, and breaks new ground through its use of exclusive one-on-one interviews with America’s most distinguished journalists and media executives. With each new, candid, and revealing conversation, Borjesson has gathered devastating details from national security and intelligence reporters, White House journalists, Middle East experts, war correspondents, and others. Like pieces of a terrible puzzle, these conversations combine to provide a hair-raising view of the mechanisms by which the truth has been manufactured post 9/11.

Borjesson’s interviews include ABC’s Ted Koppel, Hearst Newspaper’s Helen Thomas, Paul Krugman of the New York Times, Barton Gellman and Walter Pincus of the Washington Post, NPR’s Deborah Amos, Associated Press President/CEO Tom Curley, Harpers publisher John MacArthur, and many others. This evening will offer an experience of walking a mile in the shoes of these powerful journalists and the stressful, often manipulated environments in which they must operate.
