Good day on this stormy Thursday.
Over the last five decades, City Pulse publisher Berl Schwartz has seen a massive transformation of the newspaper industry. Thursday evening, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Eric Freedman interviews Schwartz about his career and how the industry has changed. Schwartz will discuss a 50-year career in journalism that took him from copyboy at the Toledo Blade to bureau chief of United Press International and ultimately to launching his own paper. 7 p.m. FREE. CADL Downtown Lansing Auditorium, 401 S. Capitol Ave., Lansing. (517) 282-0671, lansinghistory.org.
