Talk of the Hill with Bill Press Featuring Journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser SOLD OUT!

Peter Baker covers the president and his administration, which results in stories on a wide variety of domestic, economic, political, national security and foreign policy issues.  Baker has covered the White House for a long time, and often focuses on analytical pieces attempting to place what is happening in a larger context and historical framework. Baker joined The Times in 2008 after 20 years at The Washington Post and has covered the White House over the course of the past six presidencies, starting in 1996 with Bill Clinton and continuing through George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump, Joseph R. Biden Jr. and now Mr. Trump again. He is also a political analyst for MSNBC.

Susan B. Glasser, a staff writer at The New Yorker based in Washington, D.C., writes a weekly column on life in Washington and is a host of the Political Scene podcast. Glasser has served as the top editor of several Washington publications, including Politico, where she founded the award-winning Politico Magazine, and Foreign Policy, which won three National Magazine Awards, among other honors, during her tenure as editor-in-chief. Before that, she worked for a decade at the Washington Post, where she was the editor of Outlook and national news. She also oversaw coverage of the impeachment of Bill Clinton, served as a reporter covering the intersection of money and politics, spent four years as the Post’s Moscow co-bureau chief, and covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She started her journalism career in the nineteen-eighties, as an intern at the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, which she later edited.

Bill Press began his career as a political insider and media commentator on KABC-TV and KCOP-TV, both in Los Angeles. Over the years, he has received numerous awards for his work, including four Emmys and a Golden Mike Award. He also served as aide to California Governor Jerry Brown and was Chair of the California Democratic Party from 1993 to 1996.
