The students also will have several opportunities throughout the day to hear some of the show's other noted panelists speak on business and political issues during a series of workshops designed especially for them. The debate with students is being taped for a later PBS broadcast. The workshops for high school, community college and university students encompass the fields of journalism, political science, philosophy and religion, and business. The press event takes place in Holman Hall's Dunlap Auditorium.
Seats are free, with no tickets required.
Viewed by a television audience of some two million, Firing Line was broadcast live from Ole Miss in 1989. Subsequent debates were taped and broadcast in 1992 and '97. We in New York don't doubt that the liveliest audience in our experience is at Oxford, Mississippi. The upcoming Firing Line production and workshops on the Oxford campus are being hosted by the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation. The University of Mississippi.
