Honoree's Remarks
We live in a society where we are constantly bombarded with media images. Streaming and satellite tv provide numerous 24/7 media outlets. Dr. Boorstin foresaw the impact of the media sensationalizing events to make them seem more important than they actually are. “The Image” made me realize the impact the media can have on our day-to-day lives.
