On November 6, 2022, author, journalist, freedom-fighter, and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize-Winner Maria Ressa delivered the Annenberg Lecture, "What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?" It includes introductions from Annenberg School for Communication Dean John L. Jackson, Jr. and University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.
The annual Annenberg Lecture brings to Penn leaders in academia, politics, public policy, or the media. It combines two previous lectures, the Walter and Leonore Distinguished Lecture in Communication, which started in 1992, and the Leonore Annenberg Lecture in Public Service and Global Understanding, which began in 2006. Both series, and the subsequent single lecture, honor Ambassador and Mrs. Annenberg, without whose vision and support the Annenberg School and Annenberg Public Policy Center - the event's sponsors - would not exist.
