National Press Club President Michael Freedman will host a moderated question-and-answer session. Viewers can send their questions for Napoli in advance or during the live program via email to [email protected]
Napoli spent three decades as a journalist, covering presidential campaigns, the culture of technology and arts for a variety of media outlets. She also directed two video documentaries -- on the kitschy tourist trap South of the Border in Dillon, S.C., and on NASCAR fans.
Her first book, "Radio Shangri-La," chronicles the impact of media culture on the mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan, where she helped start a radio station at the dawn of democratic rule. Her second book, "Ray & Joan," explores the lives of the late philanthropist Joan Kroc and her husband, the irascible founding chairman of the McDonald’s corporation.
