Next Thursday night, March 29, at 7 pm we’ll be presenting our last Ben Franklin program. It’s a panel discussion about journalism and a free press. We’ll be using quotes from Franklin as jumping-off points for a discussion about journalistic ethics. Our panel will include Ted Vaden from the News and Observer, Frank Fee from the UNC School of Journalism, and Julia Lewis from WRAL TV News.
So, this week we’ve been getting in touch with all our panelists to confirm their participation and to send them the list of quotes we’ll be using for the program. We’re hoping for a lively discussion of contemporary applications of Franklin’s principles.
