“The Making of Frontline”

The Bemis Free Lecture Series welcomes David Fanning, who has been executive producer of Frontline on PBS since its first season in 1983. Today, the program is the longest-running and most honored investigative documentary series on TV, having won 65 Emmy awards. His talk will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the series—how it came to be, the battles fought, the controversies stirred, high points and low, and prospects for the future in a rapidly changing media landscape. For questions, please email bemislectures@gmail.com.
