Mayor Bloomberg was once described as an antidote to the old urban politics. Today he’s become an institution whose work could define a generation in government much like two other three-term mayors, Ed Koch and Robert Wagner. Are the news media revising their views on Mayor Bloomberg in this election year? Can he hold on to the winning image of an independent, effective reformer three times in a row?

The Center for New York City Affairs  convenes leading journalists to discuss changing perceptions of Mayor Bloomberg.
