Moderator Chosen for Fredericksburg Forum

The Fredericksburg Forum featuring Karl Rove will be moderated by mass media and political expert Stephen Farnsworth.

On Wednesday, Sept. 28, University of Mary Washington’s Fredericksburg Forum will host Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s political strategist from 2000-2004. Moderating the program is mass media and political expert Stephen Farnsworth, who is also a political analyst, author, and George Mason University communications associate professor.

Farnsworth, a former UMW professor, has extensive education, research, and authorship in mass media and political topics.  A newspaper journalist first, Farnsworth was a professor at UMW for 13 years.  Two books he wrote and co-wrote are “Political Support in a Frustrated America,” and “The Nightly News Nightmare: Television’s Coverage of U.S. Presidential Elections, 1988-2004.”  He is slated to return to UMW in January to teach in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs as a new Center for Leadership and Media Studies is launched.

The Forum is at 8 p.m. in George Washington Hall’s Dodd Auditorium.  General admission tickets are $35, orchestra seating is $40, and patron seating is $55 (this includes a reception after the program).
