Defending First Amendment Freedoms, Part 3
Gretchen Morgenson delivered the keynote address, titled “Why Financial Literacy Depends on Press Freedom,” at Financial Markets and the Economy - Financial Literacy Day III, the annual major conference that Cumberland sponsors at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM).
Morgenson is Senior Special Writer in the Investigations Unit at the Wall Street Journal. She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist notable as the longtime writer of the Fair Game column for the New York Times. In November 2017 she moved from the Times to the Journal.
Following the conference, she signed copies of her book Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon at an event that benefited the Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent, nonprofit organization that promotes press freedom worldwide. The CPJ “defend[s] the right of journalists to report the news without fear of reprisal. around the world.” Learn more about the CPJ here: https://cpj.org/about/.

She then engaged with the audience in a Q&A session. Here is a YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/embed/bGNxZcSV3Ss.
Financial Literacy Day III was open to the public, and the auditorium was packed. Registration cost was just 50 bucks, which included lunch. Our partners for the event were USFSM, the Global Interdependence Center (GIC), and the Financial Planning Association of Florida (FPA).
We are proud supporters of all three partner organizations and were pleased to bring this high quality dialogue to the greater Florida Westcoast region and to the rest of the world via the event livestream. From our email flow we see that viewers responded from five of the seven continents – we are not sure about the Antipodean realm or Antarctica.
