Tye will discuss Edward L. Bernays, one of the pioneers of the field of public relations, a man he has written a book about.
But Tye is also of interest because of a number of his other accomplishments. A former reporter at the Anniston Star in Alabama, the Louisville Courrier-Journal and the Boston Globe, he has won numerous prizes for his coverage of medicine, the environment, sports, government and
business.
In addition to the Bernays biography, he has written other books: Home Lands: Portraits of the New Jewish Diaspora and Rising from the Rails: Pullman Porters and the Making of the Black Middle Class. He has co-written (with Kitty Dukakis) Shock: The Healing Power of Electroconvulsive Therapy. His biography of Negro League baseball legend Satchel Paige is due out in June.
