New York Open Center Debuts On C-SPAN This Sunday Kristina Borjesson Discusses her Book, Feet To The Fire: The Media After 9/11 On Book TV, February 26, 10:15am EST

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 24, 2006

C-SPAN2’s Book TV will air Kristina Borjesson, acclaimed investigative journalist and author of Feet to the Fire: The Media After 9/11 – Top Journalists Speak Out, this Sunday, February 26, at 10:15am EST. Book TV, C-SPAN’s popular weekend show highlighting non-fiction works and authors, captured Borjesson’s recent discussion of her book at the New York Open Center.

Kristina Borjesson received national attention in 2004 for Into the Buzzsaw, her highly acclaimed exposé of American investigative journalism and winner of both the National Press Club’s Arthur Rowse Award for Press Criticism and the 2005 Independent Publisher Book Award for Best Book in the Current Events category. An Emmy and Murrow Award-winning investigative reporter, Borjesson has also worked for CBS and CNN.

The New York Open Center’s presentation, “Feet to the Fire: The Media After 9/11,” features Borjesson leading a compelling discussion on her investigative work, and the information she gathered through candid one-on-one interviews with America’s most distinguished journalists and media executives. Like pieces of a terrible puzzle, her conversations with national security reporters, White House journalists, Middle East experts, war correspondents, and others, combine to provide a hair-raising view of the mechanisms by which the truth has been manipulated and manufactured since September 11, 2001.

The discussion will air for the first time on Sunday, February 26, at 10:15 am (EST). Subsequent showings will be listed on the C-Span2 Book TV schedule at http://www.booktv.org/schedule
