SOPAC presents virtual evening with Fox News host Chris Wallace

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ — As part of the South Orange Performing Arts Center’s “A Virtual Independent Voices” series, on Tuesday, May 4, at 7:30 p.m., the arts center will livestream a one-night-only live event featuring a conversation with Chris Wallace, moderated by Budd Mishkin, with an audience question-and-answer session.

Wallace is a seasoned journalist, presidential debate moderator and host of “Fox News Sunday.” During his career, Wallace has won every major broadcast news award for his reporting, including three Emmy Awards, the Dupont-Columbia Silver Baton, the Peabody Award and the Sol Taishoff Award for Broadcast Journalism from the National Press Foundation. Most recently, he won the Paul White Award for lifetime achievement from the Radio Television Digital News Association.

Mishkin, a South Orange resident, has been a broadcast journalist for almost 40 years. Most recently, he was an anchor/correspondent for CBS News Radio Network. Mishkin spent 25 years as an anchor/reporter for NY1 and was one of the journalists who helped found New York City’s 24-hour cable news channel in 1992. 

On May 4, as one of the country’s most seasoned and respected journalists, Wallace will draw from his decades at the news desk to deliver valuable insight and perspective on an America with Joe Biden in the White House and a changed Congressional landscape. With an expert’s eye and a historian’s perspective, Wallace analyzes current issues to provide audiences with an in-depth understanding of today’s seemingly unprecedented conflicts and violence into historical perspective to gain understanding of societal movement. From tax reform to the state of health care, Wallace breaks down the day’s headlines with the clarity and distinction that have established him as a go-to source for the most important political observations. Wallace’s presentations always feature surprising, behind-the-scenes anecdotes about Washington, D.C., and unique insights on the critical and evolving role of the media.
