November Roundtable: What Is the Future of Political Journalism?
Astonishingly low pay, rampant underemployment, and perpetual job insecurity.
What Is The Future Of Political Journalism?
This panel will serve as an amphetamine for those already in the field — “take off the tweed jackets! put on the latex bodysuit!” and a slice in the wrist for the young and naive who don’t have a trust fund. You will salivate over the expert advice and insider information of how to make it, how to break it, and how to fake it in a world that’s shrinking before our eyes. Just show up, enjoy our drinks, and pretend like the job cuts aren’t happening.
Speakers include Tucker Carlson (of Fox News and Cato Institute) and Dave Weigel (of the Washington Independent, Reason Magazine and the Economist online) & David Sessions (Patrol Magazine). Jillian Bandes, a political reporter for Townhall.com, will moderate. Stay tuned for more speakers.
This roundtable will take place Thursday, November 19th at the Fund for American Studies (1706 New Hampshire Ave. NW), drinks at 6:30 discussion at 7pm. AFF Roundtables are free for members, and $5 for non-members so join today! Please rsvp to Sarah@americasfuture.org.
