Bill O’Reilly to Headline Loeb School’s First Amendment Event

Columnist, author and host of America’s most popular cable news program -- is headlining the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications First Amendment Awards on Oct. 22.

The 8th annual event honors the First Amendment and New Hampshire residents who strive to exercise and protect the essential rights of free speech and free press. It also is a fundraiser for the non-profit school, which has been offering free media and communications classes and low-cost workshops for a decade.

For more than ten years, The O'Reilly Factor on the FOX News Channel has been the nation’s highest rated cable news show. O’Reilly also hosts a national radio talk show, writes a column that appears in more than 300 newspapers and has written 9 books. The O'Reilly Factor for Kids outsold all other children's non-fiction in 2005.

O’Reilly’s remarks will precede presentation of the Nackey S. Loeb First Amendment award at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. The public is invited to nominate New Hampshire residents or organizations who work to protect free speech and free press.

Past recipients include former state Attorney General Philip McLaughlin, former Keene Sentinel Executive Editor Thomas F. Kearney, The Laconia Citizen, former legislator Daniel Hughes, Dover City Councilor David Scott, Londonderry High School Journalism Advisor Mary Lukas and First Amendment attorney William Chapman.

First Amendment Awards tickets are $50, or $75, including a pre-event reception. They go on sale at the Capitol Center Box Office or website, www.ccanh.com, on July 22.
