 Taking On The Media -- Advocate & Columnist, Bozell Talks at Bradley Institute, Belmont Abbey Colleg
BELMONT, NC February 12, 2004--The man, who arguably helped make “media bias” a household phrase, will tackle the issue of children and entertainment at Belmont Abbey College.
Syndicated columnist, L. Brent Bozell III will present “The Entertainment Media and the Future of Our Children,” on Wednesday, February 11, 2004 at 7:30 PM in the Student Commons at Belmont Abbey College. The event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required.
Bozell’s talk is part of the spring lecture series sponsored by The Bradley Institute for the Study of Christian Culture and funded in part by The Pearl Dixon Balthis Foundation.
As founder and president of both the Media Research Center (MRC) and The Parents Television Council (PTC), Bozell runs the largest media watchdog organization in America. He leads the only Hollywood-based organization dedicated to restoring responsibility to the entertainment industry.
The Parents Television Council provides the Family Guide to Prime Time Television, an aid for parents in making informed viewing decisions for their families. The PTC reviews television programming and informs its members of the best and worst shows. It is also responsible for organizing complaints to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and commercial sponsors of programs that do not meet acceptable standards.
Bozell is also a nationally syndicated writer whose work appears in publications such as Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The New York Post, The Los Angeles Times and National Review.
Bozell has appeared on a number of television programs, including The O’Reilly Factor, CNN’s Inside Politics, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, C-Span, Entertainment Tonight, and The Rush Limbaugh Show.
The Bradley Institute for the Study of Christian Culture at Belmont Abbey College was founded in 1996 by its director, Dr. Robert A. Preston. Dr. Preston had served Belmont Abbey College as its 13th president for six years until his retirement in 2001.
The Bradley Institute provides opportunities for business executives, career professionals and clergy to examine relevant ethical, theological and philosophical topics within the context of their modern lives. Program topics range from business, legal and medical ethics to history and philosophy.
The Institute is named for The Reverend John P. Bradley, former president of Belmont Abbey College and former CEO and chairman of the board of Good Will Publishers of Charlotte, North Carolina. The Bradley Institute, in cooperation with the Ingersoll Foundation, presents the annual Ingersoll Prize.
Belmont Abbey College, named one of the country’s leading, private liberal arts colleges by U.S. News and World Report, is located in Belmont, North Carolina, 15 miles west of Charlotte. The campus consists of the College, the Monastery and the Abbey Basilica, which can be found on its sprawling 650 acres of picturesque landscape. Nearly a thousand students call The Abbey home. The students, with diverse religious and cultural backgrounds, represent more than 18 countries and 34 states and pursue undergraduate degrees in a number of liberal arts course offerings.
Founded in 1876, the College celebrates its heritage and is inspired by the Benedictine monastic tradition. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the College and Abbey Basilica greet thousands of visitors each year.
