UPDATE: Event has been canceled due to the impending blizzard.
WNYC and Montclair State University present Tracking Chris Christie: A Conversation with Political Journalists on Monday, January 26 at Montclair State University’s The Conference Center.
Whether he’s urging tourists to get off the beach as a superstorm approaches, telling hecklers to “sit down and shut up” or speaking passionately about the ravages of drug addiction, Governor Chris Christie is, by most accounts, the most colorful politician on the national scene. As Christie considers his announcement of a presidential run, we’ll hear from some of the leading journalists who’ve covered him most, since before he was known beyond the Garden State, about his appeal and obstacles on his road to the White House.
New Jersey Public Radio’s Managing Editor Nancy Solomon will moderate a discussion with panelists:
- Robert A. George, New York Post editorial writer
- Matt Katz, WNYC reporter
- Mara Liasson, NPR’s national political correspondent
- Tom Moran, The Star-Ledger editorial page editor and columnist
The public can watch a livestream of the event on montclair.edu and follow the conversation on Twitter – #TrackingChristie.
The event marks the official launch of The Christie Tracker Podcast, a weekly show from New Jersey Public Radio and WNYC that explores everything Chris Christie from the prosaic to the profane. The first episode of the podcast will be published during a week that Governor Christie makes two trips to Iowa and is expected to announce his candidacy for President of the United States. The podcast will be available on WNYC.org, NJ.com, WHYY.org and iTunes. It will also be posted weekly on NJ.Com and Newsworks, a website of WHYY in Philadelphia.
