Jerry Flint, a senior automotive editor for Forbes magazine will be speaking at the American Institute for Economic Research in Great Barrington on Friday, May 7, at 8:00 p.m. Flint will speak on the decline of the U.S. auto industry and its chances for recovery.

Born and educated in Detroit, Flint has been covering the automotive industry since 1958. He worked for the Wall Street Journal from 1958 to 1967 and for the New York Times from 1967 to 1979. In 1979, Flint moved to Forbes where he remains today.

Flint won the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism in 2003, and, according to the Business News Reporter, is one of the 100 most prominent business reporters of the 20th century. He has been a research associate at AIER since 2009.

The event is open to the public but seating is limited.
Reservations can be made by calling (413) 528-1216 ext. 3153.

For the second year in a row, AIER will host Columbia University's Knight-Bagehot Fellows in Economics and Business Journalism. The nine mid-career journalists will visit the campus from May 6-8 for a series of seminars designed to highlight AIER’s value as an expert source of information about economics.

The Knight-Bagehot Fellowships pay a year's tuition and living expenses to allow experienced reporters from America and abroad to better learn the “language of business.” Fellows take graduate courses at Columbia's schools of journalism, business, law, and international affairs. They also participate in off-the-record seminars and dinner meetings with corporate executives, economists, and academics; and attend briefings and field trips to New York-based media companies and financial institutions.

Barron's magazine quoted AIER's tax revenue data in "The Numbers" section of its May 3 issue. The article is quoted below.
