I am speaking tonight on a panel organized by The Medill Club of Greater New York.  Stop by if you are around the area tonight.  We will be talking about the long role of the alternative press and why it's been important even as it changes and morphs. What is alternative journalism these days and how does new media like blogging/citizen journalism fit within that? I will update this post later.
