Join us as we discuss the challenges journalists face in the current
environment, and consider questions like: How should news
organizations handle situations like the ones the New York Times et al
faced with WikiLeaks? And what's the role of professional news
organizations when anyone can publish the kind of information that
previously was only the purview of journalism? And what do you think
of how the New York Times handled WikiLeaks? (See Bill Keller's
"Dealing with Assange and the WikiLeaks Secrets:
