"Doing the News in the Age of new Media" Event at Smith
On Thursday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m. in Leo Weinstein Auditorium, Wright Hall the Friends of Smith Libraries will present an event entitled "Doing the News in the Age of new Media."
The event is free and open to the public and will feature some very cool Smithies, including Laurel Toby, founder of mediabistro, and Stacy Teicher who is just one year ahead of us (and lived in Baldwin).
From the press release:
"The program, which will be moderated by Judy Milestone '66, Smith trustee, long-time CNN executive and an astute observer of the media, will include panelists Susan Green'68, until recently Senior Vice President at The Cable Center, University of Denver; Stacy Teicher Khadaroo '93, reporter at the Christian Science Monitor; Laurel Touby '85, Senior Vice President at Jupitermedia Corporation, which last July paid $23 million for mediabistro.com, the on- and offline "community center" for journalists and media professionals that Touby founded; and Ellen Weiss '81, Vice President for News at National Public Radio.
"Although many Friends of the Libraries programs focus on books and authors, this event will bring together five Smith alumnae who are-or have been-associated professionally with various aspects of a medium other than books. The panel's organizers decided that the so-clalled "new media" is a compelling, current topic and, in fact, not distant from libraries at all, given today's integration of electronic resources into library facilities and collections. The panel discussion, which is open free to the public, is expected to focus on issues that print and electronic media are currently facing, the demographics of their audiences and the various forms of adaptation that are required to be successful in the media marketplace today."
I am hoping to go, but I have a class that doesn't let out until 8:30 that night, so I may miss it.
Hope to see you there!
