National Archives Event Reminder
This is a reminder to myself as much as anyone about some upcoming events at the National Archives here in DC. On Thursday, September 22, there will be a panel discussion on blogging and journalism, "Blogging: Free Press for All or Free-for-All?" I was originally less enthusiastic about this panel simply because I don't believe that the so-called "grassroots journalism" is the most interesting manifestation of the blogging boom (I'm also not always sure that it qualifies as journalism), but after several bloggers reported their eye-witness accounts of Katrina's devastation of Louisiana and Mississippi, I'm a little more curious about what the panelists will have to say.
On Friday, September 23 at 7PM, there will be another panel that should be worth attending: "Copyright, the Constitution, and the Crisis in Historical Documentary Film." I've already discussed my interest in this topic. Also, just a quick reminder that both events are free, but reservations, available at the National Archives website, are required. I'm planning to attend both events, so if anyone is interested in attending (and would like to grab an adult beverage afterwards), send me an email: chutry[at]msn[dot]com.
