As an alternative to Trump’s attacks on the media, our headliner at the Dinner will be Sally Jenkins, who for the past 25 years has been a sports columnist at the Washington Post writing about sports and American culture, and very recently has moved to The Atlantic. Sally was named the nation’s top sports columnist by AP 5 times and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020. Jeff Goldberg recently said Sally “is quite possibly America’s greatest living sportswriter.”

Interviewing Sally is the legendary Bob Costas. Bob is the winner of a record 29 Emmy Awards and was named National Sportscaster of the Year eight times times. He worked for NBC Sports from 1980-2019, during which time he was the prime-time host of 12 Olympic Games and the announcer of numerous World Series. He also delivered eulogies at the funerals of Mickey Mantle and Stan Musial.
