Abe Zaidan will present “Freedom of the Press: A Journalist’s Perspective” on Monday at 7 in the Founders Hall Auditorium at the Tuscarawas Campus of Kent State University at New Philadelphia. Admission to the Constitution Day program is free, and no tickets are required.
Zaidan recently completed his fifth book, “Portraits of Power,” with Dr. John Green, director of the Bliss Institute for Applied Politics at the University of Akron. It contains many of Zaidan’s previously published political columns dealing with leading Ohio politicians since the 1960s, including the late Gov. James Rhodes, Sens. John Glenn and Howard Metzenbaum, and Cleveland Mayors Carl Stokes, (U.S. Rep) Dennis Kucinich and (U.S. Sen.) George Voinovich, as well as an essay on the current state of the media and its decline over the last 30 years.
A graduate of the University of Illinois, he resides in Fairlawn with his wife, Nancy.
Isn't John Green, like Abe Zaidain, a former Beacon Journal newsroom guy? Highly competent, too, as I remember John.
