      James Poniewozik

Official Website:

*James Poniewozik, *the chief television critic of the New York Times, 
is the author of "Audience of One: Donald Trump, Television and the 
Fracturing of America."  His eye-opening book traces the history of TV 
and mass media from the simpler times of the 1980s to its powerful 
worldwide presence today, and tells the almost unbelievable story of how 
a "volcanic, anti-hero" billionaire merged with the medium to become our 
45th president.  Originally from Monroe, James attended the University 
of Michigan. He went on to write about TV for Time magazine for 16 years 
and has contributed to publications like Fortune, Salon and Rolling Stone.
