With this year’s closely watched election between Obama and Romney heating up, the Flagler College Forum on Government and Public Policy lecture series will bring key journalists covering the races to St. Augustine to discuss the campaign and the issues.

The 2012-2013 series will kick off on Sept. 11 with Mark Silva, Deputy Managing Editor of Bloomberg News who will speak on “Election 2012: Too Close to Call?”

Silva oversees a team of reporters and editors covering the White House, Congress and the 2012 election campaign, as well as other agencies.

All forums take place at Lewis Auditorium at Flagler College, 14 Granada St., at 7 p.m. Forums are free and open to the public, but seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign language interpreters are provided.

Call (904) 819-6400 for more information.
