Andrea Mitchell: The Press and the Future of Democracy
Monday, November 2 at 1pm, ET / 10am, PT
At a time when trust in the media is under pressure and democratic institutions face mounting challenges, what role does journalism play in safeguarding democracy? Join veteran journalist Andrea Mitchell, chief Washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent for NBC News, for a conversation about the state of the news media, the challenges facing reporters, and the importance of a free press in holding those in power accountable. Drawing on her decades covering the White House, Congress and international affairs, Mitchell will reflect on how journalism has changed, what is at stake for the future of independent reporting, and why a strong, independent press remains essential to a functioning democracy. Honoring her almost 60 years as a broadcast journalist, Mitchell is the recipient of Moment’s 2026 Robert S. Greenberger Journalism Award. In conversation with Moment Special Contributor Robert Siegel, former senior host of NPR’s All Things Considered.
