Jeffrey Goldberg, the journo who Pete Hegseth & Co. included in a text chain on the messaging platform Signal that featured top officials from the Trump administration discussing an upcoming military operation last year, will be speaking at Washington and Lee University on March 17.
With any luck, Hegseth will forget about Signalgate, and will tip off the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic to whatever he’s doing that day in Iran, or maybe Cuba, and folks who attend will get real-time breaking news, in addition to the insight into the media industry.
Odds on that happening: +400.
It’d be worth throwing down $50, is what I’m saying there.
Goldberg will appear with moderator/host Eric Deggans, W&L’s Knight Chair of Journalism and Media Ethics, for a discussion titled “Journalism, Ethics and Leadership in the Modern Age.”
The event has a start time of 5:10 p.m. on March 17, which is a Tuesday, in Stackhouse Theater in Elrod Commons.
The event is free and open to the public.
The program will also be streamed online at go.wlu.edu/livestream, and a recording will be available afterward.
