Next week, I'll be participating in this discussion, along with David Wallis, editor of Killed: Great Journalism Too Hot to Print, Jodie T. Allen of US News & World Report, Mark Feldstein of George Washington University, and Ben Scott of Free Press.
Bonus points: C-SPAN plans to film it and there will be wine and cheese afterwards.

I doubt there will be much self-censorship at a wine tasting event...

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

I plan to be there .... can we shout out
sarcastic comments whenever we like? That's
how economics workshops work ... :)
Nice of CBS and 60 Minutes to provide an example
of when a story should have ended up on the
cutting room floor just in time for this event.
