The program includes panel discussions on topics ranging from journalists’ use of social media for reporting, to new online tools to track the influence of money on legislation, to journalism training sessions on how to get sophisticated, insider news stories (and avoid being “spun” by government officials on one hand, or union officials on the other) about: local police and the criminal justice system; public school financing and the ranking of schools and teachers; salaries and pensions of government employees; and much more.
You’ll hear from featured speakers:
- 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner (”public interest” category) and Wall Street Journal reporter Alexandra Berzon (in a conversation with LA Times media columnist James Rainey)

Enjoy debates among our expert panelists, including: Dan Gillmor, Director, Knight Center for Digital Media Entrepreneurship; Geneva Overholser, Director of the USC Annenberg School of Journalism; Claudia Nuñez, La Opinion; Evan Hansen, Editor-in-Chief, Wired.com;
In addition to the regular sessions, the event will afford opportunities for informal conversations and socializing for the journalists, lawyers, academics, students, public officials, community activists and other guests.
All this is FREE, thanks to FAC’s sponsors and contributors. However, there are only 25 free spaces still available. To reserve one, RSVP NOW at the Assembly registration page: http://www.
