“Spotlight” is hailed as one of the best movies of the year for its depiction of the investigation of the Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal by the Boston Globe.  Baron–who was the editor of the Globe and led the investigation–was intimately involved in the making of the film, which raises important issues across media.

SOC Journalism Professor Jane Hall will moderate the interview and follow-up discussion.
