On Thursday, October 20, 2022, at 5:30 PM, Larkin Development Group will be hosting an author talk with Margaret Sullivan, former Managing Editor of The Buffalo News, and Sheila Rayam, Executive Editor of The Buffalo News. The discussion will revolve around Ms. Sullivan’s new memoir Newsroom Confidential: Lessons (and Worries) from an Ink-Stained Life.
Few people are aware that Ms. Sullivan joined The Buffalo News as an intern. She would go on to become the first women Managing Editor. In 2012, she left ‘The News‘ to take a position as Public Editor at The New York Times. Then, in 2016, she headed over to The Washington Post, as a columnist covering media and politics.
Sheila Rayam – appointed the Executive Editor of The Buffalo News in August 2022 – will discuss Ms. Sullivan’s high profile political news coverage that is the essence of Newsroom Confidential.
“Margaret Sullivan has tremendous insight into the workings of the most influential newspapers of our time,” said Vice President of Larkin Development Group, Leslie Zemsky. “She is a wonderful speaker as well as writer, we look forward to an engaging conversation with Sheila Rayam who brings her own experience in journalism to the conversation.”
Anyone interested in the changing landscape of journalism over the last four decades will want to attend this free event, which will take place at the Larkin at Exchange Building, First Floor Café, 726 Exchange Street.
