All seats have been sold for Poynter's upcoming Community Conversation with award-winning broadcast journalist Ted Koppel. A capacity crowd is anticipated for the conversation on September 14, which will focus on "Journalism in Crisis: Who's to Blame?"
 |
Koppel will lead a candid discussion about the state of media, what got us here and how we can preserve the integrity of news in what he calls America's "Age of Entitlement." Poynter's Dean of Faculty, Keith Woods, will moderate. Ticket proceeds benefit Poynter's student journalists.
Poynter will provide a live video stream of the event through its Web site, Poynter.org, which can be viewed during the event and afterward as a replay.
Poynter's Community Conversations provide citizens with an opportunity to engage with journalists. Past participants have included New York Times chairman and publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.; Washington Post columnist William Raspberry; ABC's Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts and chief White House correspondent Martha Raddatz; Gwen Ifill of PBS; and New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Weiner, a Poynter alumna.
The conversation with Koppel is presented in partnership with Bank of America and these sponsors: The Stoner Organization, the St. Petersburg Times, WUSF and Tampa's Mise en Place.
