Dean of the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication Mark Lukasiewicz was interviewed by The Washington Post and Newsday about the historic debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump broadcast by CNN.




“The pressure is on CNN to make this a good debate for the voters and for their viewers,” Dean Lukasiewicz told the Post.

Because the debate will be held in the CNN studios without an audience, he told Newsday that it would not be the usual “public spectacle” of earlier encounters. “I think it’s going to be a very different atmosphere. And I think the result on television is also going to be very different,” Dean Lukasiewicz said.


Mark Lukasiewicz is a veteran producer, journalist, and media executive who has spent his professional career telling important stories to worldwide audiences and helping media organizations deal with transformational change.

Claudia Tenney (R-Cleveland) that would make President Donald Trump’s birthday a national holiday. The effort to make Trump’s birthday a holiday isn’t necessarily surprising, but the controversial nature of his presidency means it will probably never happen, said Dr. Bose.
