Forbes was in the middle of many of Cleveland's biggest news stories for decades. And his relationships with the press were often ... interesting. (See the YouTube video "George Forbes, How to Properly Chastise a Nuisance Reporter.")
Longtime Plain Dealer and now cleveland.com columnist Brent Larkin will emcee our event, which also will feature other guests.
More details on registration will be forthcoming. Plan on joining us Sept. 26 for memories, war stories and lessons for today's journalists.
