The concept of honesty in the media was examined earlier this month when the Schar School hosted a two-hour, multiple-panel afternoon of discussion called “Truth on Trial: Implications for Communicators, Ethics and the Collapse of Institutional Trust.” Former special counsel to President Trump Ty Cobb revealed during the forum that White House counsel Don McGahn recused his office from the Mueller Russia probe. Cobb was joined in the event by, among others, CBS’s chief White House correspondent Major Garrett; National Review contributing editor Andrew McCarthy; former White House chief ethics counsel Richard W. Painter; Karen DeWitt, columnist for the Baltimore Post-Examiner; chairman and CEO of LEVICK Richard S. Levick; Cox Communications Virginia Vice President Nneka Chiazo; and president of the National Black Public Relations Society Neil Foote. Schar School chief operating officer and professor Judith Wilde, pictured, was the program host. A video of the event is here.
