The lecture, titled "Morality and Freedom of Speech in the Media," is free and open to the public. As the gruff but good-hearted Lou Grant, Asner symbolized many of the ideals of journalism, both as a no-fluff television producer in the comedy "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and as an ethical city editor in "Lou Grant." He won five Emmy awards for his Lou Grant portrayals and added two more to his collection for roles in "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Roots." "I fear the Lou Grants of this world are a dying breed, a species failing to adapt to a rapidly changing environment," Asner wrote in the prologue to Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in the News Media by journalists Martin Lee and Norman Solomon.

    Ethnomusicology Review 22(1) From the Editors Samuel Lamontagne and Tyler Yamin Welcome to Volume 22, issue 1 of Ethnomusicology Review! This issue features an invited essay along with three peer-reviewed articles that cover a wide range of topics, geographical areas, methodological and theoretical approaches. As it seems to be a characteristic of ethnomusicology at large, this variety, even if it has become an object of critical inquiry itself (Rice, 1987, 2007; Laborde, 1997), has allowed the discipline, by grounding itself in reference to the context of study, to not take “music” for granted. It is in this perspective that we’d like to present this volume, and the variety of its contributions. In his invited essay, Jim Sykes asks what ramifications of the Anthropocece, understood as a socio-ecological crisis, hold for the field of music studies and the politics of its internal disciplinary divisions. Drawing upon scholars who assert that the Anthropocene demands not only concern about our planet’s future but also critical attention towards the particular, historically situated ontological commitments that engendered this crisis, Sykes argues that music studies both depends on and reproduces a normative model of the world in which music itself occupies an unproblematized metaphysical status—one that, furthermore, occludes the possibility of “reframe[ing] music history as a tale about the maintenance of the Earth system” (14, this issue) urgently necessary as anthropogenic climate change threatens the continuation of life as usual. By taking seriously the material and discursive aspects of musical practice often encountered ethnographically, yet either explained away by “the worldview embedded in our disciplinary divisions or .
