Pell Center hosting book launch for G. Wayne Miller’s new satire on modern media

The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy is hosting a wine-and-cheese book launch event for G. Wayne Miller’s new fictional satire, “Unfit to Print: A Modern Media Satire.” The book launch will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 6:30 p.m. To register, go here.

The evening will feature a discussion with Miller hosted by Brendan Kirby, co-host of The Rhode Show on TV station WPRI/CBS 12. Miller will also sign copies of “Unfit to Print.”

“Unfit to Print” is a scathing indictment of today’s media by Miller, an author of 21 books and an award-winning journalist for four decades — most of them at the Pulitzer Prize-winning Providence Journal, the oldest continuously published newspaper in the U.S.

“Unfit to Print” is also a keen commentary on today’s politics and culture, when so many get their “news” from social media and reporters are seen as enemies of the people.

G. Wayne Miller is the director of Ocean State Stories, a nonprofit news outlet based at the Pell Center that serves all of Rhode Island and the many diverse communities that comprise the state. Miller also co-hosts and co-produces the national Telly-winning PBS TV and SiriusXM show “Story in the Public Square.”
