A conversation with Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell
Friday April 4, 2025 11:25am - 12:10pm EDT
Consumer confidence is waning, economists are lowering growth forecasts, and the stock market is increasingly volatile. Tariffs are on, then off, and then on again. How is the Fed navigating this tenuous moment for the economy? What are ordinary Americans to make of it? Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, discusses the economy in the era of Donald Trump's sweeping second-term agenda with SABEW Board President James Nelson, business editor of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Heather Long, an economics columnist at The Washington Post.

A Conversation with Matt Murray, Executive Editor of The Washington Post
Friday April 4, 2025 2:00pm - 2:45pm EDT
The White House handpicks the press pool covering President Trump. Google changes its algorithm to reduce the search visibility of news content. Americans' distrust of journalists rivals their distrust of Congress. And U.S. newsrooms struggle as audiences shrink. In a conversation with Sara Fischer, media correspondent at Axios, Murray will assess the state of the news industry in an extraordinary year of tumult, disruption, uncertainty -- and opportunity.
