One of the journalists most closely associated with Boston is heading west tonight to the Berkshires to deliver the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s annual Mona Sherman Memorial Lecture at the Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield.
The topic of Mike Barnicle’s address, which begins at 6 and is free and open to the public, is “Optimism: America’s Most Ignored Asset.”
A Massachusetts native who began his career as a prominent political speechwriter, Barnicle has written for The Boston Globe, Boston Herald, New York Daily News, and The Daily Beast, to name a few. He is a frequent presence on television as a member of the Morning Joe panel on MSNBC and has produced award-winning documentaries.
