Dean Baquet, the new Editor of the Los Angeles Times, joins us to discuss his life in journalism and the future of the paper at a crucial moment in its history.  A Pulitzer Prize winner who quit school at Columbia University to jumpstart his career, Baquet will share the story of his ascent from police reporter at his local paper in New Orleans to leading one of the largest papers in the country. Known for his investigative reporting skills, his popularity in the newsroom, and his insightful story ideas, he will also talk candidly about the impact of the internet on daily journalism, declining circulation, and whether the mainstream media really does have a liberal bias.
