NPR’s Nina Totenberg Is Constitution Day Speaker at Stockton College on Sept. 17 For Immediate Release; Monday, September 08, 2014 Contact: Maryjane Briant News and Media Relations Director Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4593 Galloway Township, NJ -Nina Totenberg, award-winning legal affairs correspondent for National Public Radio, will be the keynote speaker for this year’s celebration of Constitution Day on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. Totenberg will speak in the Campus Center Event Room at 6 p.m. Her reports air regularly on NPR's critically acclaimed newsmagazines, All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition. Her coverage of legal affairs and the Supreme Court has won her widespread recognition. She is also a regular panelist on Inside Washington, a weekly syndicated public affairs television program produced in the nation's capital. Before joining NPR in 1975, Totenberg served as Washington editor of New Times Magazine, and before that she was the legal affairs correspondent for the National Observer. She’s been honored eight times by the American Bar Association, won every major journalism award in broadcasting, and is the only radio journalist to have won the National Press Foundation award for Broadcaster of the Year. NPR received the prestigious Peabody Award for its 1991 gavel-to- gavel coverage--anchored by Totenberg--of the inquiry into Anita Hill's allegations against Clarence Thomas, and for Totenberg's reports and exclusive interview with Hill. On the non- broadcasting side of her career, she has written for newspapers and periodicals, from the New York Times Magazine to the Harvard Law Review. Ms. Totenberg’s presentation, “The Supreme Court and You,” should be of great interest to a wide range of students. She’ll share behind-the-scenes stories about the Court and offer her seasoned and astute perspective on recent decisions by the Roberts Court. Tickets are not required, but seating is limited. Totenberg’s speech will be simulcast in the Campus Center Theatre to provide additional seating. # # # .
