Michael Morand is used to getting grilled by New Haven reporters. Thursday, he gets to do the grilling.
Morand—a longtime top Yale official (current title: director of metro, state, & alumni relations), former alderman, public library board member, and ubiquitous civic presence (at public events, on Facebook, now as a photographer as well)—will interview New Haven Independent Editor Paul Bass at a “master’s tea.”
Title of the talk, which is open to the public: “#People & the #Press Status Update: It’s Complicated.”
Subtitle of the talk, which begins at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Yale’s Jonathan Edwards College (70 High St.): “Making sense in the new era of journalism.”
Morand’s name—often in conjunction with responses to reporters’ questions—turns up 118 times in the New Haven Register’s news search engine and 116 times in the Independent’s.
