USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism invites you to a conversation with Jeff Sharlet.

This brilliant darkness

What does it take to shine light on power? To illuminate lives so bleak they become invisible? A talk on reporting poverty of the ordinary, extraordinary, and spiritual varieties, that of the despairing, the dead, and those who still struggle. Sharlet qill consider the methods and multi-media challenges of reporting on the powerful and the powerless through two cases, one global — the American export of "culture war" — and one local — a police killing on Skid Row.
