IPFW Announces 2010–2011 Omnibus Lecture Season

FORT WAYNE, Ind.—Indiana University–Purdue University Fort
Wayne’s (IPFW) Omnibus Lecture Series, featuring nationally
recognized speakers, celebrates its sixteenth season of offering free
lectures to the public.

Ken Auletta, media commentator
Thursday, October 7, 2010, 7:30 p.m.
Googled: The Future of Media
NO TICKETS REQUIRED

Author and media columnist for The New Yorker, Ken Auletta is “the
James Bond of the media world,” wrote Business Week, “a man who
combines the probing mind and easy charm of a top intelligence agent
with the glamour that benefits the holder of a high-profile job.” In
his award-winning “Annals of Communications,” Auletta profiles media
personalities. “The Lost Tycoon,” a story about Ted Turner, won the
National Magazine Award. Auletta’s new book, Googled: The End of The
World As We Know It
, is a New York Times business bestseller. He has
written four other national bestsellers and has published articles in
The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Esquire, and The New Republic.

IPFW is grateful for the support of the Omnibus Lecture series founding
sponsor, the English, Bonter, Mitchell Foundation, and media sponsors
WANE-TV NewsChannel 15 and Northeast Indiana Public Radio. Additionally, 2010–2011 lecture cosponsors include Greater Fort Wayne Business
Weekly, WFWA PBS 39, NIPR, and Anthony Wayne Services.

Each lecture will be held on the IPFW campus in The John and Ruth
Rhinehart Music Center’s 1,600-seat Auer Performance Hall. All
lectures begin at 7:30 p.m. and doors open at 6:30 p.m. There is no
charge for the events and parking is free. However, due to campus
construction affecting access to and parking near the Rhinehart Music
Center, patrons are advised to arrive early, allowing additional time
for traffic and parking.

The John and Ruth Rhinehart Music Center is located on the north end of
campus in the arts plaza next to the Ernest E. Williams Theatre and the
Visual Arts Building, and behind the Medical Education Center.
