John Lansing

The School of Media of Public Affairs at the George Washington University is mourning the loss of John Lansing.   

In addition to a long and distinguished career as a journalist and former CEO of National Public Radio, John was a valuable member of the School of Media and Public Affairs community. John served on SMPA’s National Council and was a friend, advisor and mentor to many. We join the journalism community and everyone whose life John touched in sending our thoughts to his family and loved ones.
