A panel of nationally known journalists will gather at UNLV on Dec. 2 to discuss "Reading Between the Headlines: Politics and the Press."

Part of the Barrick Lecture series, the event will feature Jim Angle, senior White House correspondent for "Fox News;" Campbell Brown, co-anchor of the weekend edition of the "Today" show; and Don Gonyea, White House correspondent for National Public Radio. Terence Smith, senior producer and correspondent for "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" will serve as moderator.

The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall. The event is free, but tickets are required. Tickets may be picked up at the Performing Arts Center box office at Ham Concert Hall beginning Nov. 8. Tickets are limited to two per person. For more information, call 895-2787.

Angle, who joined Fox in 1996, is seen regularly on all of the network's programs, including "Fox News Sunday" and "Special Report with Brit Hume." He covered President Clinton's presidency from his re-election to the impeachment proceedings. During the 2000 presidential election he shadowed Vice President Al Gore on the campaign trail. He reported live from Gore headquarters in Nashville throughout the Florida recount and later won the Merriman Smith Award for Excellence in Journalism for those reports.

Brown served as NBC's White House correspondent before moving to the co-anchor's chair on the weekend edition of "Today." Her reports were seen on the "Nightly News with Tom Brokaw," "Today," and the programs on MSNBC, NBC's 24-hour news and information network. Prior to serving as White House correspondent, she covered the presidential campaign of now-President George W. Bush. She also spent more than a month reporting from Austin, Texas, on the post-election-day Florida recount story.

Gonyea, who joined NPR in 1986, has been covering the White House since January 2001. His coverage of events related to President Bush are heard frequently on "Morning Edition," "All Things Considered," Weekend Edition," and "Talk of the Nation." Before moving to his present beat, he spent nearly 15 years in Detroit reporting on the automobile industry and labor issues. Among the stories he covered was the scandal that led to the resignation of Teamsters President Ron Carey, which ushered in the election of Jimmy Hoffa's son as the new union president.

Smith, who has been with "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" since 1998, leads the media unit as its senior producer and correspondent. He and his unit are three-time winners of the Arthur C. Rowse Award for Media Criticism, given by the National Press Club, as well as the recipients of the 2002 Bronze World Medal in the New York Festivals, the 2002 CINE Golden Eagle Award, and the 2000 Bart Richards Award for Media Criticism.
