Cronkite Events

The Cronkite School features a movie about journalism every Wednesday night during the school year for Cronkite students, faculty and staff. The movies — which may be the only permanent journalism-themed movie series in the country — are introduced by a Cronkite faculty member, who also leads a discussion afterward. All movies are held in The First Amendment Forum. Popcorn is served.
