Judy will explore media, democracy, and the power of words to shape our nation&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>Judy\u2019s reporting over a five-decade career demonstrates the critical importance of listening to others, reflecting on their words, and building community. Her work reflects how a careful adherence to truthful journalism builds an informed citizenry and strengthens democracy. The tenor of the 2024 election proves this approach is more urgent than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 20 months, Judy has journeyed across America, uncovering powerful stories of political division and highlighting work to bridge our differences. Her reporting reveals the deep-seated roots of our nation\u2019s polarization: rural vs. urban, economic disparity, mistrust of government, and anxieties about demographic change.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss Judy\u2019s insights on navigating these divisions to tackle America\u2019s most pressing public policy challenges. After the lecture, engage directly with Judy in a dynamic Q&amp;A session.<\/p>\n<p>For questions or concerns regarding accessibility needs, please contact\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:programs@planetwordmuseum.org\">programs@planetwordmuseum.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Patty Isacson Sabee Fellowship, established in 2023, honors Planet Word\u2019s inaugural executive director, who championed Planet Word\u2019s core values to make the museum fun, playful, unexpected, meaningful, motivational, and inclusive.
