Lectures

Gerald's lectures can be booked by contacting Don Schlossberg at American Program Bureau, at 1-800-225-4575.

His most popular subject is What Really Led Up to 9/11, a sobering and sometimes startling talk about CIA and FBI incompetence and treachery at time from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Germany.  

Also popular is Who Killed JFK?

Popular at Journalism Schools is History versus Ratings, a hard look at the clash between serious journalism and the growing tabloid influence in the media.  It includes discussions about the media's increasing over-simplification of complex issues, how good reporting is rarer due to budget cuts and time pressures, and how chasing ratings and sales forces the news to often overhype what reporters have uncovered: much news is mixed into personal interest stories, turning hard news into infotainment.  And many stories are cast with easy to digest good vs. bad characters, even if the underlying subject is far more nuanced.
