One of New England’s top political analysts and most popular
broadcast and print journalists, Jon Keller, will share his
professional journey during a free presentation, “Covering
Politics: One Reporter’s Wild Ride” at Northern Essex Community
College in Lawrence on Friday, Feb. 3. Part of the White Fund
Enlightenment Series presented by Northern Essex, the program is
free and open to the public and will begin at noon in the White
Fund Room on the NECC Lawrence Extension Campus, 78 Amesbury
Street.
Keller, who was raised and educated in Boston, is a veteran
reporter and has been the consummate unbiased observer of Boston’s
political and social landscape for more than two decades. Keller’s
reports are featured regularly during CBS4 News at 6 and 11 p.m.
In addition, Keller presents a drive commentary on WBZ News Radio
1030, contributes weekly to the Boston Herald, and monthly to
Boston Magazine. Before joining CBS4, Keller served as political
analyst for “The Ten O’Clock News” on WLVI-TV (WB56). Before that,
he held positions with the TAB Newspapers as well as a number of
radio stations across the region, including WCCM in Methuen.
Keller will share stories from his years of covering the political
beat. He will also comment on the changing relationship between
the press and the political establishment and where the political
culture is headed.
For more than 140 years the White Fund Enlightenment Series has
offered Greater Lawrence audiences the opportunity to “enlighten
their minds” through a series of free lectures.
Funded by a generous financial gift from the Honorable Daniel
Appleton White, the White Fund Lecture Series has provided
cultural conversation featuring well-known lecturers in fields
such as history, literature, travel, the arts, and politics. The
White Fund is collaborating with Northern Essex on this series.
Because of the nature of Keller’s work and the possibility that he
will have to cover a breaking news story, it is recommended that
those planning to attend the program call the college, 978
556-3700, the morning of the program to confirm that it will be
held as scheduled.
