Colgate Grad Discusses Celebrity

Colgate grad and Pulitzer Prize winning writer/reporter Chris Hedges's latest book, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle, was the topic of a lectue at the University of Vermont Law School recently. Vermont Public Radio presents the audio of that speech.

Hedges is a senior fellow at the Nation Institute and author of numerous books. He was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times, The Dallas Morning News, The Christian Science Monitor and National Public Radio. Hedges was part of the team of reporters that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for The New York Times' coverage of global terrorism.

Hedges graduated from Colgate in 1979.
