Emerson Center proudly presents Hedrick Smith, one of America’s most
distinguished journalists. His recent focus on the environment is the
latest path he has explored in nearly a half-century of reporting;
from beats including Washington, Moscow and Atlanta. It is in this
vein that his Emerson Center presentation will benefit the Pelican
Audubon Society, Environmental Learning Center and Indian River Land
Trust.
Born in Scotland and educated at Oxford, Smith won the
Pulitzer Prize for his work as a reporter and editor for The New York
Times. He was an Emmy Award- winning
producer/correspondent during his twenty-plus years with PBS on
Frontline, and Washington Week in Review. Smith covered Washington and
world capitals for The New York Times, authored several best-selling
books and created 20 award-winning PBS prime-time specials and
mini-series on Washington’s power game, Soviet Perestroika, the global
economy, education reform, health care, teen violence, terrorism and
Wall Street.
His Emerson Center talk will be Frontline’s
production of Poisoned Waters, a probing examination of the growing
hazards of drinking water to human health and the ecosystem which
aired in April, 2009. Smith was the program’s producer and narrator.
Hedrick Smith will speak at 5 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $50
each (student tickets are available for $10). A reception and question & answer period following the talk is
$25.
