Media bias, excessive use of commentary, conflicts of interest -- Tony Collings talks about things that get in the way of journalists gathering and reporting the truth. "Capturing the News" is a combined memoir and critique of journalism based on Collings' experiences over the course of 34 years as a print and broadcast reporter, mostly in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Washington. Collings includes funny stories about the crazy early days at CNN and stories about hair-raising adventures in Russia, Poland, and the Middle East. Book sale and signing to follow.

Collings is currently a faculty member in the U-M Department of Communication Studies in LSA, and teaches Ethics Issues in Journalism, Supreme Court News Coverage, and Foreign News Coverage.
