Hosted by Andy Conte, Director of the Center for Media Innovation, Point Park University
with Introductions by Mark A. Nordenberg, Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh

The same week as the presidential inauguration, we meet to talk about civility in not only politics but also daily life. Our co-presenters are Joseph Sabino Mistick, a Democrat and columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review/Trib Total Media, and Brandon McGinley, a conservative opinions editor for the Post-Gazette. The event is named for Allegheny County’s first executive, a Republican who worked to build alliances with Democrats; Jim Roddey died this past year.
