The John H. Burlingame Distinguished Lecture was established in 1999 to bring nationally recognized speakers to Cincinnati to address important contemporary issues from a national and global perspective, particularly those issues surrounding communications, the media, and government regulation. The lecture series has been made possible through the vision and generous support of Elizabeth G. and John D. Drinko, the Scripps Howard Foundation, Baker & Hostetler Founders' Trust, the Mellen Foundation, and John H. Burlingame.
