NPR Media Critic Eric Deggans visits PEL class


PEL students  gather around Professor Catherine Griggs and Eric Deggans, NPR TV critic, during a course session in January.

Professor Catherine Griggs welcomed Eric Deggans, NPR's first full-time TV critic and former Media/TV critic for the Tampa Bay Times, to her Spring 1 course "Television and American Life." Griggs and Deggans developed and team-taught a similar course during the Spring Term in 2002 and 2003.

Deggans led the class in a discussion of diversity on TV. He is the author of Race-Baiter: How the Media Wields Dangerous Words to Divide a Nation (St. Martin's Press, 2012).
