Upcoming events at Columbia jschool for you NYC folks. Also livestreaming if you're elsewhere.
Folks: Three events at Columbia Journalism School I wanted you to know about.
* TONIGHT: In-person & Livestream – Hearst New Media Lecture by Rebecca
MacKinnon (@RMack). A reminder about tonight's lecture by digital
pioneer MacKinnon, who is going to make the case that in pursuit of
commercial self-interest, many news organizations are supporting
business practices, technologies, and legislation that will diminish the
Internet's openness and freedom. While this might be good for business
in the short term, in the long run everybody will lose – especially
journalists. Details below and at http://bit.ly/cjhearst12
* MONDAY, APRIL 23, 5:30-7 pm: Michael Moran, a former Hearst Lecturer, is
back with us for a special book event in conversation with Prof. Tom
Edsall, NYT politics columnist and long-time WashPost correspondent.
They will discuss Moran's highly anticipated new book, "The Reckoning:
Debt, Democracy, and the Future of American Power." Moran, a geostrategy
analyst at Roubini Global Economics, the Council on Foreign Relations,
and other leading institutions, explores how a variety of forces are
converging to challenge U.S. leadership–including unprecedented
information technologies, the growing prosperity of countries like
China, India, Brazil, and Turkey, and the diminished importance of Wall
Street in the face of global markets. To RSVP please email:

* WEDNESDAY, MAY 23: NYC + ONLINE – Social Media One-Night Stand, an
advanced social media workshop for Columbia J-school Continuing
Education program, with special guest speakers and more. Details at

"Collateral Damage: News Organizationsw, Free Speech, and the Internet" by Rebecca MacKinnon (@RMack), author of the brand-new "Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle For Internet Freedom" and Bernard L. Schwartz Fellow at the New America Foundation
Join us for the annual lecture by our Hearst New Media Professional in Residence, a major thinker – and do-er – on digital issues. This year, Internet journalism pioneer Rebecca MacKinnon will make the case that in pursuit of commercial self-interest, many news organizations are supporting business practices, technologies, and legislation that will diminish the Internet's openness and freedom. While this might be good for business in the short term, in the long run everybody will lose – especially journalists.
The Hearst New Media Professional-in-Residence is appointed each academic year to participate in the educational activities of the school. The appointment has been made possible by a generous gift from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Recent professionals-in-residence have included: Krishna Bharat, founder of Google News; Steven Berlin Johnson, noted digital media expert and bestselling author; Kenneth Lerer, Huffington Post’s chairman and co-founder; Brian Storm, former lead multimedia producer, MSNBC.com; Adrian Holovaty, former editorial innovations editor, WashingtonPost.com, among others.
