This semester’s theme is “Journalism: Ethics or Profit?” Day one of the series presented the 1976 political drama “All the President’s Men” with a panel discussion that followed.

The remaining days of the Film Series will screen “Nightcrawler” and “Spotlight”. Day two of the Film series will be on Wed, Nov 9, from 7-10 p.m., and day three will be on Thurs, Nov 30, from 2-5 p.m. Both will be in the Great Hall.
