DATE: 4:30 p.m. Jan. 26, 2010.

EVENT: “A Conversation with Dean Robert J. Dolan and Micheline Maynard, Senior Business Correspondent at The New York Times.”

Maynard, a former Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan and an adjunct faculty member at the Ross School, will discuss her newly published book “The Selling of the American Economy: How Foreign Companies Are Remaking the American Dream.” A book-signing will immediately follow the event, which will be broadcast on C-SPAN’s Book TV.

Maynard joined the New York Times in 2004 as a reporter in the Business Day section, covering the airline industry. A year later, she was named Detroit bureau chief, where she directed the Times’ coverage of the automobile industry. She became a senior business correspondent in 2008, covering transportation issues. She also contributes regularly to the dining, travel and sports sections of the paper.

Maynard has written four books, including the “The End of Detroit: How the Big Three Lost Their Grip on the American Car Market,” which foresaw the collapse of Detroit carmakers.

Prior to joining the New York Times, Maynard wrote for Fortune magazine and had been a staff writer or bureau chief at USA Today, Newsday, U.S. News & World Report and Reuters. She began her career as a legislative correspondent for United Press International in Lansing, Mich., and served as an intern in the White House Press Office.

In addition to her Knight-Wallace Fellowship at U-M in 1999-2000, Maynard also was named a media fellow by the Japan Society of New York (2002) and a Knight-Bagehot Fellow in Business and Economics Journalism at Columbia University (1989-90). She holds an undergraduate degree from Michigan State University and a graduate degree from Columbia.
