Chuck Stone, M.A.
Chuck Stone, M.A.

This Walter Spearman professor of journalism and mass communication has been a White House correspondent, a commentator on the Today Show, the editor of three black newspapers, a congressional aide, a prison negotiator, and has authored three books. He has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

His popular course on censorship always has a waiting list, which may explain his five excellence in teaching awards. He was the 2002 recipient of the Thomas Jefferson Award, UNC's highest award for a faculty member.

Speech Topics:

· Are the Media as Bad as the Public Says They Are? (They Are-Sometimes Worse-and Surprise-Most of the Time, Better)

· Free Speech, Hostile Speech, and Hate Speech: Three Challenges to the First Amendment and Our Civility

· Affirmative Action and Cultural Diversity are Like Love and Marriage

· Being Politically Correct: Who Is, Who Isn't, Who Agrees with Rhett Butler

· Straight Reflections on the Gay and Lesbian Experience

"This ex-Connecticut Yankee grew up reciting the required catechism for all New Englanders: 'Here's to dear old Boston, land of the bean and the cod, where Cabots speak only to Lodges and Loges speak only to God.' After moving to Carolina, this born-again Tar Heel quickly changed regional loyalties: 'Here's to dear ol' Dean Smith, a man beyond reproach. When heaven gets its first basketball team, Dean Smith will be the first coach.”

Chuck Stone, School of Journalism and Mass Communication
