Anita M. Samuels
Discussion + Book Signing

In conversation with author Anita M. Samuels discussing her book, "Rants & Retorts: How bigots got a monopoly on commenting about news online".

"Rants & Retorts" is a provocative exploration of the way in which reader comment sections — created to foster the free flow of ideas and opinions on the news of the day — have spiraled downward into what many journalists call “cesspools” of racism and bigotry.

Samuels will be signing copies of "Rants & Retorts," which will be available for purchase at the event.

Free and open to all.
