Award-winning writer/director Murray Horwitz will visit
Yulman Theater on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 1:30 p.m. to discuss “The
triumph of marketing” and how it “has divided the American mass
media audience into ever-narrowing shards of market share.”
“Radio, television and film used to attempt to
bring people together; now, they tend to drive us apart,” says
Horwitz, who currently serves as vice president of cultural programming
for National Public Radio. “There is a fundamental change in the
compact between audience and artist, and a disproportionate increase in
the prominence of the performing arts. The combination portends important
consequences for our democracy, our economy and our world.”
