McLeod Lecture Series: Louisiana Politics & the Fourth Estate: Behind the Scenes
A Behind the Scenes Look with Press Secretaries and Reporters on the Capitol Beat The lecture's focus is on the impact of the statewide media on the governor, the legislature and state government of our current generation. Veteran statehouse journalists and former gubernatorial press secretaries gather to share their insider's perspectives on how government operates in Baton Rouge. Beth Courtney, the President of LPB and a former capitol correspondent in her own right, moderates the discussion. The annual lecture series honors the late Bill McLeod. Each year the series will focus on timely, as well as the historical, aspects of Louisiana politics and efforts to promote a climate of good government. All research materials, records, and artifacts pertaining to the annual lecture become a part of the McNeese Library Archives.
