Shankar Vedantam writes the Department of Human Behavior column at the Washington Post.
On August 14, he spoke at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism about why reporters may not be aware of their hidden biases, and the role that such preconceptions may play in covering presidential elections. Vedantam refers to several psychology experiments that help his audience discover their own biases.
