Radio's Hewitt to deliver talk Feb. 22
By Julie Filby
At the fourth installment of the Archbishop’s Lecture Series, lawyer, professor, author and broadcast journalist Hugh Hewitt will pose the question: Who’s going to lead?
Hewitt, whose nationally syndicated radio show is heard by more than 2 million listeners each week, will deliver the lecture: “Who is going to lead? Moral Character and the Future of American Public Life,” at 7 p.m. Feb. 22 in the refectory on the campus of the John Paul II Center in Denver.
“I’ll be talking about the sort of moral leadership that informs the environment in which judges, lawyers and legislators work,” Hewitt told the Denver Catholic Register. “There is always an opinion class, and it used to be far flung across the country. It’s now highly concentrated in some very unusual environments like Los Angeles and Manhattan, and this has terrible consequences for the general direction of the country and the debates which go on daily.”
Since the debut of his radio show in July 2000, Hewitt has conducted groundbreaking interviews with government officials, and prominent analysts, authors and pundits. He is a frequent guest on CNN, Fox News Network and MSNBC; and has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times.
He is also a weekly columnist for The Washington Examiner and Townhall.com, and has authored several books including two New York Times best-sellers.
Hewitt received three Emmys for his work as co-host of “Life & Times,” a nightly news and public affairs television program that aired on the Los Angeles PBS affiliate KCET from 1992 until 2007. In 1996 he hosted “Searching for God in America,” a PBS series featuring conversations with eight leaders of various religions.
The resident of Orange County, Calif., has been teaching constitutional law at Chapman University Law School since it opened in 1995.
Hewitt served for nearly six years in the Reagan Administration (1981-1989) in a variety of posts including assistant counsel in the White House and special assistant to two attorneys general. He is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Michigan Law School. For more about Hewitt, visit www.hughhewitt.com.
The lecture is free, open to the public, and will be followed with a question and answer session. The refectory is located on the quad side of the John Paul II Center campus at 1300 Steele St. in Denver. Reservations are not required; seating is first-come, first-served.
