Washington is in for change in January, with the election of Sen. Barack Obama as president. What will the effect of the most covered presidential campaign in history be? Who will be the players for the next four years? What were the key media moments? Were the media stricken with Obamamania, as has been charged? Or, were they even-handed in their coverage of an unprecedented wild ride of a political season? A statesman of broadcast news, a political consultant, a media analyst, a columnist, and an up-and-coming politics writer will look at these questions in an American Forum **live on WAMU 88.5** just a week after the election.
