Omnibus News Conference with Andrew Sullivan

(Fort Wayne, November 4, 2009) -- Journalist and commentator Andrew Sullivan is the third speaker in the 2009-10 Omnibus Lecture Series at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). His free lecture titled “Friendship: The Forgotten Relationship” will be Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009, at 7:30 p.m. in The John and Ruth Rhinehart Music Center’s Auer Performance Hall. No tickets are required for this lecture.

The news conference with Mr. Sullivan will be held for members of the media on Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. in room 214 of the Classroom-Medical Building (CM), located across from Helmke Library.

At 1:30 p.m. in CM 212, Sullivan will talk to IPFW students in a political theory class taught by Elliot Bartky, assistant professor of political science. The media is welcome to attend.

Andrew Sullivan uses his columns, online blog, and frequent television appearances to question the present course of conservatism in America, arguing for the revival of conservative traditions for the Republican Party, not religious ideology. As senior editor and blogger at The Atlantic and as a columnist for the Sunday Times of London, Sullivan is one of the most provocative political and social commentators today. His blog, The Daily Dish, is found on The Atlantic.com, where his incisive and blunt observations about the news inspired Playboy to rank it #1 on its list of Top 10 Political Blogs in America.
